Well I thaught I had been snake bit as far as turkey hunting. I was wrong. Yesterday at 12 noon I had this nice tom come in with a buddy. The shot was 45 yards. He was 23 1/4 lbs, 2 beards 10 1/2 and 7 inch. He had 1 broken spur, it was 1 inch and the other was 1 1/2. Pictures to come!! Best yet my buddy called me when I told him I killed a double bearded bird and asked me if he had white on his fan. Well yes he did and he sent me trail camera pictures of him!!

Awesome bird! Congrats!

Congrats on your East coast Gobbler!

That's awesome.

What's up with the band on his leg??

Thanks you all. I am pretty stoked about it. I had been after them hard for two weeks prior to when I shot him. I had long beards under 70 yards of me 6 times in 2 weeks and they all ignored me. Deffinetly and emotional roller coaster.

Countertop, In delaware we have to take our birds to a designated check station. They register the bird and place a metal band around there leg.

Hey, WTG again!!

Congrats... You don't know a guy who goes by Bowdeadly do ya???

AWESOME bird!

Man i have yet to even see a double bearded tom. Last week I saw a bearded hen though.

Congratulations and this will pump you up even more!
