Had a great youth weekend. 6 hunters 3 birds killed. Nasty windy rainy Sat, and a windy Sunday. I took Landon out and we tried. Had to resort to going to the gobble. They were henned up bad and seemed to be still in Winter flocks. Anyway Landon didn't get a bird but he got an eyeful. We had 5 strutting, drumming and spitiing birds, with 40 hens and several Jakes. He had an opp on a jake but wanted to wait out a longbeard. I worked the flock toward us somehow, probably just got where they wanted to be, dought I called em LOL. But they never got into open woods. They stayed in the cedars and had quite the morning. Landon got to see a fight and a romance scene. One kid took this beauty. 26 # 3 beards. Too bad he's not on the team Seems early stiil. The gobblers were sporting white heads with very little red showing. Redbuds should be out soon...Morrels and Longbeards to follow.



Here's the bird with the father and son one of the guides called for. Who looks prouder?
