|  Hey guys, Well I finally checked in you could say, It was a great clear morning one of the few that we've actually had. The hunting for me this year has been super tough but as always everytime im in the woods I am always learning more about these smart ol' longbeards. Working a bird early in the a.m. at roost he would not leave his ladies. While working this bird I had a even bigger bird come in silent until about 75 yards, gobbling only a few times he wouldnt cross the stream bed and walked straight away from me up the hill and went on top of the ridge. After a quick few moves I knew I needed to get around on this bird if I wanted another crack at him. I crow called a few times As I made my way up to pinpoint him as i topped the ridge I gave a few cuts followed by a strong yelp and BOOM gobbled his head off! When he gobbled off it sounded like another long beard and a few jakes gobbled as well. This was a perfect scenario ! Right in between two long beards coming for me ! after some intense moments and not knowing which direction to put my turkey choke in the bird from my right had came strutting in. Flatlined him at 40 yards. This by far has been my favorite turkey hunt ive been on and to make it more special my father and best friend joined me ! Call in with the Sadler McGraw series 22lbs 1 inch spurs and 9 1/2" beard hope to check in soon again

| | Hey Billbuster, Is that a New York bird? He is an absolutely gorgeous tom, but like Mike Pentecost says, "they don't make bad 'uns". CONGRATULATIONS!
