Default BUCKEYE GOBBLER *MANY PICS*

Gang,

I made a trip to Ohio to hunt my wife's uncle's farm for 3 days this week. It was a great trip with lots of gobbling, great weather and some cooperation from the birds. The terrain was far more rugged than I'm used to in Western NY, but I was up to the challenge

On the first morning this longbeard succumbed to the irresistible sounds of the Memory Maker glass over glass call from Larry Bean (Henrietta, NY). I took him at 40 yards at 7:30 AM




Bird # 1
21.5 pounds
1 inch spurs
10.67" beard
Score = 62.75


On last moring I endured fog and wind and no gobbling until 7:00 AM. Keep in mind, I was driving home at 8:00 AM. My only choice was to pursue the gobbling! After a miserable walk over 2 ridges, I was able to find the source of the gobbling and filled my last tag with this hearty jake...
