The Whats a good bird thread got me thinking..

[shootumindaface]

You have one tag left and still have days to hunt.. You are in a state that states "male bird" and no requirement for a beard or beard length.. You call up a bird, he busts into strut and has a full fan, yet you double take as he has no visible beard..

Do you kill him?

Shoot the Strutter.

[Basser69]

Can you see the spurs?

No

It would depend on how many other birds are in the area. IF several more NO, if not Yes.

Bust him. Then go find someone who is not tagged out and call for them.

Dead bird........ I know you've heard this before( I'm eat'n um ... And the beard don't taste good)! That being said , I have several tags .....I will save a couple and hold out for a good scoring bird!

No way, I'm passing on it until I have something better. Last year I had two tags left and passed on 3 or 4 birds looking for the boss. It took a week to finally pull in the one that was running the show. Got my spur lenth best out to 1 inch.

Looking for 1.125 or 1.250 this year after I get one or two in the bag.
