Title: 1st bird down in NC
Post by: drum817 on April 18, 2016, 03:40:41 PM

With limited time to hunt this year i'm glad to get this ole boy under my belt! Got him this morning around 7:30 using a SS Custom Calls Crystal Heat pot call and a Hooks Swindler mouth call. Used my trusty 835 with a SumToy .675 and Longbeard 3.5" #4's. Called him in to 35 yards from around 400 yards, with no decoys, just a real good set up! He had a 9.5" beard, 1.25" spurs and weighed around 21-22 lbs.... I'm a thankful turkey hunter!
