Had a good day on Thursday, April 16th. First bird with the bow using the Magnus bullhead took this fine bearded hen. Didn't weigh herand she had no spurs and her beard was 7" long. The area that I was hunting is between known eastern area and Rio area in KS., and there are hybrids as well, so I'm not sure which "breed" she is. Shot was 5 yards from the doublebull blind, on film too!:)

Again, on Thursday, April 16th in KS. Turkey #2 was this tom at 6 yards using the bullhead broadhead out of the doublebull blind, again on film. Weighed in at 19.5#'s, beard was 10.25", and both spurs were 1.25" long. What a day.

Turkey #3

This ol' boy was a unique turkey. The only way to kill him was to neek up on him. My 13-year old son Peter and I were able to do that in spades.

4 year old turkey with curved hooks that you could hang him by.

We had our first annual Massachusetts youth turkey hunt yesterday. Our regular season starts tomorrow.
The kid I brought scored on this nice tom in the AM. His first time ever turkey hunting... never had heard a bird gobble until that AM. He didn't disappoint. Bird weighed 17lb... had 1" spurs, but his beard was broken off... only a couple of inches.




We had a total of 6 kids hunt w/ their sponsors. 4 were successful. Here is the group pic of the kids w/ sponsors behind them.

Killed this bird in Pike County, Indiana with a Benelli SBE loaded with Hevi-shot #5. Shot was 38 yards. 23 lbs, 11 inch beard, both spurs 3/4". Pretty neat story, my brother, dad and I were hunting a small thicket and year after year the birds in this thicket kick our butts. We put dad along a 4-wheeler trail and my brother(chipper1) and I headed to the other end. We heard 2 birds on the roost but were on the other side of some back water that runs down the middle of the thicket, after we were sure they were on the ground we made a move to where we thought they would go. We decided on a spot and we sitting down about 30 seconds when this bird came along. I was wanting to wait as long as I could to shoot because we thought there were 2 birds. We finally heard the other bird gobble so I shot, my brother hit his slate call just as my bird started to flop and here come 3 more toms. For the next minute they attacked my bird and finally one stood on top of him and my brother shot him, first time we ever doubled. His bird was identical to mine except it had very nice spurs, one was 29mm and the other 25mm. So my score would be 23+7.5+7.5+22=60 Eastern Tom.
