Well, my cousin came down for the weekend to do some hunting and I managed to call him in a fine NY longbeard this morning! We heard six gobblers in all. This one was the closest. He was all fired up but wouldn't budge so I stopped calling and a few minutes later he came into investigate. Not a bad gobbler for his first spring bird...18.5 lbs. (a couple of lbs. under average for this area), really thick 10.5" paintbrush beard and 7/8" spurs. This is my best start to season ever....I've called 3 longbeards into the gun in 5 days of hunting. Man, it sure is fun!!!!!
