Cold morning = big bird

Postby Gunslinger » Wed Mar 27, 2013 5:11 pm

Cold temps Tuesday morning had me contemplating not making the 2 hour drive to hunt. 3 hours after daylight, and not sight or sound of a turkey, I was really regretting not sleeping in. Persistence paid off, though. I found two strutters around 10am. Lost contact with them for a while, but caught back up with them after noon. The result was a gimme 15-20 yard shot at the longest spurred eastern I've ever personally laid hands on. 11" beard, 19lbs 6oz, 1 9/16" right, 1 8/16" left spur.

He will rank way up there in the State and NWTF for MS.

Great Bird, and way to hang in there.
