Title: Big Kentucky Longbeard
Post by: dawgfrombama on April 27, 2014, 04:16:31 PM
I killed this bird Saturday morning on some new hunting ground I got access to this year.  Heard him gobbling on a ridge just before daylight.  My son and I made the long hike up the ridge set up and couldn't do anything with him. Finally eased our way to his strut zone, yelped a couple of times along with a little  scratching in the leaves and he  walked straight to us.  12in beard.  1 1/4 spurs.  22lbs.
