I can honestly say that I really don't look at beard length... If he's gobblin and strutting I'm shootin if he's in range...

Can't afford to play "I'll wait for a nicer one" game

Not much at all.. However at my camp in near the Old Town area I have been hearing them and seeing a few. Here in my area I don't think they have fully recovered from the harsh winter we have had 2 years ago. I have been seeing them with hens as well but from around 1:30 to 2:30 I have been seeing a few toms wandering alone.. So if early morning does not work maybe mid afternoon will.. Good Luck to you as well come Monday!

Phil,

Hope your hunting is going well, Shot a big Jake yesterday at fly down and a 2 year old tom this morning. I feel like I need to file a complaint my season was way too short.
