Cool.Good luck.

Saw the gobbler this morning, He has a good 10-11 inch beard, but i didnt get to look at spurs. I could have shot him off of my porch with out a problem, he was only 40 yards away in a feild. The bad news is that he is already with hens and I still have a month almost to wait.

We need a team name guys, so far I have Thunderstrut andKing of Beards

I like king of beards!

I had similar situation friday. The whole flock come through the backyard, about 100 yds out. 4 big toms at full fan the whole time.

King of Beards works for me.
