Well I thaught I had been snake bit as far as turkey hunting. I was wrong. Yesterday at 12 noon I had this nice tom come in with a buddy. The shot was 45 yards. He was 23 1/4 lbs, 2 beards 10 1/2 and 7 inch. He had 1 broken spur, it was 1 inch and the other was 1 1/2. Pictures to come!! Best yet my buddy called me when I told him I killed a double bearded bird and asked me if he had white on his fan. Well yes he did and he sent me trail camera pictures of him!!

Thanks you all. I am pretty stoked about it. I had been after them hard for two weeks prior to when I shot him. I had long beards under 70 yards of me 6 times in 2 weeks and they all ignored me. Deffinetly and emotional roller coaster.
Countertop, In delaware we have to take our birds to a designated check station. They register the bird and place a metal band around there leg.
