THE REST OF THE SEASON PIC 1 _ LEA WITH BIRD ONE PIC 2 - LEA WITH NO. 2 PIC 3 - ME WITH MY 2ND

A great year of hunting 9 for 10 with a couple of firsts. Pic 1 - 12 year old Caleb during our Learn to Hunt. Pic 2 - a double, added bonus double and triple beards. Pic 3 _ 10 year old Dylan with his very first.

Very cool video and congrats on your first bird! V.G.

Was able to get my first turkey ever after three years of trying! I was able to get an arrow into him on public land in NW WI and ride out a thunderstorm in the woods before retrieving him. He had a double beard (9.5" and 3.5") and 3/4" spurs. Sorry, I forgot to weigh him before cutting out the meat and prepping the fan and wings for drying

#4 for the year. Zone 1. #25, 1 5/8" spur, 10" beard.

Forgot to post pic of my bird.. Cajun

Hunted last Thursday morning. Kicked up tom tried getting in too close on roost. Followed another pair of toms and wanted nothing to do with calls. Moved to my "honeyhole" and a few calls brought in this 24 lb. 10" beard. Great hunt. Bought tag another zone and had bad weather and no luck. Seen a few hens thats about it. They had shut mouths. Good luck. Cajun

Found this guy all alone in a field tonight. We snuck up the edge with the full strut decoy and sat right next to it. Three clucks and he came running in. He was at 14 yards before I could get a shot and he never moved again. Very exciting hunt and a beautiful evening. 24#, 10" beard, 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" spurs. Great bird and my second gobbler this spring.
