I've been fortunate to make the best of the few chances I have had. I tagged out in Vermont and New Hampshire with longbeards. Very few jakes, I have only seen 4 and two where during youth weekend. Makes me wonder what next year will look like. I think the winter gave the birds a tough time. My second VT bird had a 9 inch beard and 1 inch spurs but only weighed 15.9 lbs. Very strange.
