Well guys I made it back to KY. I'm sorry to say I didn't take a longbeard. I did take a jake though. It wasthe first one I've taken in over 10 years. I just wanted to bring some meat home from Al. and was running out time. We had a great time and had the true southern hospitalityexperince. The people were the nicest bunch of folks we ever met. The group went 3 for 4 on birds with mine being the only jake. The weather was not great the wind blew 20 mph three of the five days. The birds were there they just didn't gobble on the ground. I did work some birds. I had one cominghard at 30 yds in thick stuff just when he got to the opening he seen my strutting decoy and didn't like it. Heputted and turned around and headed straight back the way he came. It was very close to a done deal. I'm not going to register my jake. Ihave alot of turkey hunting left and God willingI will take a couple of gobblers here around home.
Here is apic of my monster
