NY Birds
 

Got a nice Gobbler this morning in northern NY. picture isnt the best but all i had was a camera phone. I have heard 3 different birds in the past two mornings. weighted 21lbs with a 9" beard. Not bad for coming off state land. Anybody else have any luck?

Looks like you blew his head off,how close was he? Good job geeting your bird.

Yes, shot one this morning outside of Cortland, 22#, 9" beard, stubby 7/8" spurs. Yesterday was a washout with the rain & fog that rolled in at 10:00. :bash:

The birds are acting oddly, very little gobbling on the roost, but they are firing up an hour or two after flydown. Strange....:rolleye0011:

Yeah I didnt get mine untill 9:30am Also heard very little gobbling on the roost. He was pretty close, Probably around 20 yards. Im shooting Winchester Extended 1 3/4oz of #5, its just a standard full choke, but my Beretta shoots pretty tight.

Where in northern ny did you kill your turkey? I'm from northern ny.

This morning, my friend and I had about 5 of them fired right up screaming at us, my buddy shot the only one that closed the distance, 20lb, 10" beard, 1 3/16" hooks.

Sat morning 19 pounds 10 inch beard 10 yard shot

Birds in my area seem to have lock jaw.So far I've only heard one gobble a few times WAY OFF in the distance.Only a lone hen has come to my calling.

Nice...
I took a nice one yesterday am in NY... 22.25lb, 10" beard, 1" spurs...
perfect hunt.

Congrats guys that got the birds! Good Luck to the others..
