Hey guys, check out my video from this spring. We had four gobblers strutting at 15 yards for almost 10 minutes. Ended up in a great double. Very exciting hunt. Make sure you watch in full screen 1080 in the settings section. Hope you enjoy!

here is a still from the video.

Great video. That might be the first time I've ever seen 2 gobblers in the same group with beard rot. Nice hunt. Congrats,

Thanks so much guys. Great catch TRKYHTR. We thiught they were old jakes until we watched the footage back. You can see the yellow edges of their beards. They also acted subdominant. Must have been due to their shame of having no facial hair!  :laugh:

Great hunt and footage, enjoyed it!   :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:

After watching for a second time and I could very well be wrong but I swear that one of the beardless gobblers had some serious hooks.

Congrats guys!!

That was GREAT!!  ....I love the way the cameraman was able to stand outside the blind and take video of the hunters preparing to shoot.  You don't see a group of gobblers that will stand around for that very often!  (...No explanation necessary,..."re-enactments" are a good addition to any video!)   ;D  Well done!!

Some very serious beard rot!
Am I wrong or is that not a bearded hen?

Great clear footage, it must have been torture waiting for them to get positioned just right.

I don't know what that one was in the foreground. He had a beard and spurs, but clearly had feathers running all the way up the back of his head.

Musta been a mafferdite!
