Finally filled my first season tag in Southern Illinois.  My first double beard!  21 pounds, 3/4 and 7/8 spurs.

Congrats on a nice turkey. Next time you might want to cut both beards off together so they would be attached by the same skin. Good job.

Henned up pretty bad early in the season.  Some would work and then hang up and strut waiting on the "hen" to come to them. We had a lot of weird stuff happen that kept us from killing out earlier. (My partner killed out this morning.) This guy got stuck a little and we moved on him.  The silence while we were moving helped, because he had come closer too.  After that, some soft calls and  he came in pretty hot.  Not as many gobbles as I thought there should be some mornings with the clear and cool.  My other buddy reported lots of gobbles though.  He guided 3 or 4 guys to their birds.   Hope you kill a big one!
