Great week of Turkey Hunting

[flips2]

A buddy and me always do a week of turkey hunting throughout the state of VA and this year was our best so far. We were able to pull to doubles on mature toms on consecutive days and almost was able to do it for a third day in a row. A couple of tree branches prevented us from doing so. Finally tally was 5 birds for the week. I am tagged out now for the season so I will be just calling for friends. I have included pics of the birds. The birds on the log was our first double shot at 11:15am. The birds in the green field was our second double shot at 7:15am. The single bird with me was my third bird in three days and was shot at 9:35am. All of these birds were shot in SouthWest VA in Wythe, Montgomery, and Pulaski counties.

Good luck to everyone the rest of the season.

Way to go! Out of curiosity, what were their beards, weights and spurs?

On the first double both birds had 9.5-10" beards with 3/4-1" spurs and weighed roughly 18-20 lbs. On the second double the biggest birds, beards were 10-10.5" with 1-1.5" spurs and weighed roughly 22-24 lbs. The final bird had a 10.5" beard, 3/4-1" spurs, and also weighed 18-20 lbs. Not exact on the lbs because our scale seemed a little off. We would weigh them a couple of times with different weights but that seemed to be the weights we they were in.
