Title: Beautiful morning to go old skool..........
Post by: Yoder409 on November 04, 2021, 09:52:12 AM
Frosty and cold this morning.  But the sunrise was awesome coming through the beech.

In a throwback to the days of yore.....I decided to take a Model 21 Winchester 16 gauge this morning.  Got into a gobbler flock on a ridgetop right from the get-go and connected with a double-bearded bird fairly quickly.   1 ounce of #6 lead used to kill 'em in the old days.   Still does.    :)

Congrats on the bird!  Beautiful pics and what a great place to hunt.
Are you sure it isn't a triple beard?  Looks like a few strands in the middle there.  Well done!

Thank you, sir !!

That property is my pride and joy.  The sunrise this morning was extra spectacular with the frost and the fall foliage.

Only two beards there.  An 11" and a 7"    The strands you're seeing are strays off the 7" beard.
Spurs were right at 1 1/8"

Congrats! I've been getting into some fall hunting again. I used to go when I lived in Alabama, but now have to travel as SC doesn't have a season. Have had some nice success last and this year. Congrats on a great bird!
