Well the birds were there and a buddy and I shot a double at 5:57 am Wednesday morning. So I would say that it is not a problem.

There wasn’t a lot of gobbling from the roost but when these two hit the ground they were in “the mood”. We watched them come from 150-175 yards doing the whole show and did the 1….2….3…. bang at 25 and 17 yards.

The turkeys switched positions at the last second and lucky for me when we checked out the carnage the one I shot had matching 1.375” long spurs.

Myself and 2 friends are leaving for Kansas next Wednesday to chase gobblers around.

Stats Below

Mine is 26 pounds
1.375” spurs
Wimpy 9” long beard

Buddies bird was 2 year old but it did have a 9.5” beard.
