#182
Hey guys just got back home from my trip had a awesome time. Tagged out in Kansas and Nebraska. I forgot my tape measure, so I will have to measure beards and spurs. I did remember my scales so I have accurate weights. I will go over my notebook and get everything posted. I am wore out from all the driving

Hey guys, got a nice NY longbeard today, one tag down. Really only appeared to be just this one longbeard in my hunting territory, been watching for days and out the past two mornings. The first morning I got close, he came in over my right shoulder but never gave a good clean shot. Lots of hens and jakes around, but only this one longbeard.
This morning he ended up in the field out in front of me strutting, he sent a hen over to check me out..she came in to about 35 yards. I could see the top of his tail fanning over the embankment at about 50 yards, but he never popped over the top. Finally just before the cutoff at 12 noon (11:51 to be exact) I was sitting in a hedge row and called like crazy and his three hen friends came looking for me. All three went past without spotting me and finally he gobbled his way up past me and I blasted him at 8 yards.
19.5 lbs
9" beard
1" spur
.5" spur(broken)

Swamp, I sent you a pm. Sounds like you had a great time in the midwest. You still need to post the specs on each bird here. We may not win the best bird per hunter, but we stand a great chance of bagging the most birds. Heck, we may win both. Send the specs on all 6 birds. Once you send me the pics to my phone and the measurements here, I will submit them. I think that will give us 20 birds. Pretty dang good. Good luck Talondale.
