Well it finally happened, after 7 days split between 2 hard to draw WMA's and 2 fruitless days on a romp and stomp non quota public land hunt. On Saturday April 14th I scored. Not my biggest Osceola, but possibly my hardest earned. 17lbs 4ozs, matching 1 3/8" spurs and a 9 1/8" beard. Taken on a wide open, non quota heavily hunted WMA. Thankful to have him. Actually missed him, then called him back 10 minutes later and rolled him. :z-guntootsmiley:
Congrats!

Hard earned birds are the best brother, Congrats on a great bird. Al Baker
congrats on a very nice bird, glad to see late season birds are still possible. work schedule says tomorrow will be my last shot at one, hope local weather has not shut them down. if you dont mind me asking, was the bird vocal in the morning or did you roost him the night before. not hearing many gobbles in the morning were i'm at on a local wma. have a couple promising areas and fired up some hens but no toms yet
Pretty work.
Very pretty gobbler,congrats!!

Beards and BBQ
I hunted the same area the day prior till 1pm and didn't hear a single gobble. Went back Saturday and heard one cut loose 15 or so gobbles. They were really far off and I can't say for sure it was the bird I took.
Thanks. was able to slip out for a couple hours this morning before work, no shot for me but i heard at least 4 different birds. hopefully i can get out again before the weekend
Congrats!
Very nice gobbler,congrats!!! :happy0064:
