RE: Team Beard Busters [5]
 

Heading out at 6:00 tomorrow. I'll get to hunt the entire day, so I've got a good feeling I'll at least get one to come into my set-up. I won't have my camera man with me and I'm not going to attempt to film it myself, but hopefully I'll connect tomorrow.

The hens are definitely laying eggs, a good friend of mine called just awhile ago to let me know he came across several nests with eggs in them earlier this morning. Sounds like those toms are going to be feeling awfully lonely later in the day.

Hopefully my Allegiance can have the chance to get the job done. ;)

I'll check in tomorrow night with an update.

Finally connected in southwest OK with my mossberg 835 in the 3rd weekend of the season. Poor weather opening weekend, didn't hunt second weekend. Gobbler had a 9 1/4" beard, 7/8" spurs, and weighed 18 lbs. Scored 54 according to calculator. Not a monster by any means, but I'll take it. I may try with my bow next weekend. Look luck and watch out for the rattlesnakes if you are in the southwest U.S.A., it's that time of year.

She is going to be mounted! Not a feather wasknocked out of her! I could nto behappier......best thing yet .......I found the Youpee to not even be close to breeding.....Toms still in Bachelor groups - Hens in their groups.....Toms would gobble good in the morning and then get a case of Lock Jaw.....Was ratehr frustratiing......so no mating.....no egg laying.....thus no nest to worry about.......

Man I still can't beleive my luck......she clucked a few times thi morning - Iclucked and my partner clucked......took a while but when she got a little closer and my partner clucked at her...she came ah looking to kick some other hen butt.......and as luck would have it noTom in tow!..........but man - have onlyseen 3 in the UpperPenn....int he twienty years we have hunted.

Finally tagged a bird this morning. I set up about 5:30 this morning at Poinsette Electronic Combat range( Shaw AFB S.C.). I tried 2 setups with no luck and decided to just walk & yelp. 2 answered at 9:45 and they came in on a string just like on TV. I barely had time to sit down. Killed the bigger of thetwo 5 minutes later. It was 55 paces to the bird. I'm glad that I scoped my gun this year. I Think he would have weighed more earlier in the season.
17.2 pounds
11'' beard
1'' spurs.
