Yes, he is a nice bird and I'm hoping to get him down. I think we have one with a double beard. I saw him in the fall, but haven't seen him yet this spring. They were gobbling good last weekend and there were two strutters in the field Sunday afternoon with two other long beards. Gonna try to roost a couple Friday night. Three more days!!!

I do have a question. I haven't been seeing them in the fields in the morning. They seem to hang out in the woods until around 12 and then come out in the fields. They are roosting on four different ridges (100 yards from field) and seem to be dropping down in the woods and chasing hens around in the morning. Should I set up on one of the ridges for the morning hunt or setup in the field and try to call them in?
