Default NC....Opening morning!

Hunting on the Northeast Cape FearRiver this morning. A good friend had roosted this gobbler last evening,and graciously invited me down. In return for his kindness,I had the nerve to kill this 19# monster with 4(count'em)beards and 1 inch spurs. last chance I'll have to go untill I head out to KS and IA on the 28th,so I had to make it count!

CONGRATS on the trophy Tom! I guess you certainly live up to your screen name "many beards".

I actually do very little(if any)hunting in our area Oneshot..... This land belongs to a patient of mine who was kind enough to offer the invite. I do most of my turkey hunting out of state for the past several years.
