Quote from: guesswho on February 23, 2016, 12:20:11 PMI have on occasion over the years, but I usually pass at the chance. I've had probably 6-8 opportunities in the last three years but have elected to pass on my shot each time. I'm more of a one hunt one bird kind of guy now. Not saying I won't ever do it again, but right now I don't see myself doing it. I did have a double back in 2002 that I'm glad I took part in. My buddy's bird had three beards totaling 28" and mine had six totaling 56".
Quote from: guesswho on February 23, 2016, 12:30:43 PMThese were both three to four year old birds, and was scared to death of the dominant bird that was 100 yards away at times. And this place is wrapped up in multi-beards. Roughy 25-30% are. I've killed 1,2,3,4,5,6 and even a 7 bearded bird all within a quarter mile from each other. Lot of bearded hens as well, which I think is a factor.

Quote from: GobbleNut on February 23, 2016, 02:28:08 PMI try not to agree with this guy any more often than I have to, but on this one, we are on the same page. One at a time for me, regardless of how many tags I have in my pocket.
Quote from: cornfedkiller on February 23, 2016, 04:47:51 PMHavent had a chance to double yet. Had once last season where multiple toms came into my decoys, but I missed the first one so I blew the opportunity at both To the guys that have a "strategy" though - do you take out the boss first, or a subordinate first?
Quote from: MK M GOBL on February 23, 2016, 06:40:33 PMI always take the boss down first, one of two things happens... the sub will come back to establish dominance over the downed bird or still know you just knocked down the boss of the timber!
