This will be my 24th year of chasing birds. Only one bird, my very first, came off private land. I don't limit out every year but I think I have learned how to be a turkey hunter by chasing those hard headed public birds.
A coworker last night showed me a pic of a bird he and his buddy took on south Alabama public land. 1 5/8" spurs and weighed 22 pounds. The first day they got on him all they did was purr and cluck 1 time and then watched him run off the other direction. The next day they kept their mouths shut and came away with a great trophy. Public birds can be tough.
