Blessed with a huge bird this morning

Awsome Bird, and awsome story.

I've been lucky enough to take two really good birds, not quite as big as yours.

but i would advise you to find a nice place for him on the wall for a full body mount. i reget it so much not mounting mine.

I got my biggest bird mounted a couple years ago (not as big as 3seasons) and although it was a pile of cash, it is my favorite mount.

I would have mounted him if he hadn't plucked a lot of his feathers out when he got to flopping under that limb. Made me sick once I realized how big he was.
He was bald in both sides, would have been a funny looking mount,lol

Take that third turkey to the taxi with the beard and spurs off of the big one. a good taxidermist can fix you up.

i killed one with 1 1/2" spurs, a 12 1/4" beard and 7" beard and just fan mounted it. Be and my brother actually called up 5 and doubled, shot at the same time. big one happend to be on my end.


Same year killed another with 1 3/8" spurs and a 12" beard this as thick as i have ever seen and didn't do anything with it but hand the beard and spurs up.


wish now i would have mounted at least one of them will probaby never kill another one that size.

Everyone who hunts with me be it deer or turkeys gets a kick out of watching me after the shot.

Yep and I remember this one duck hunt in particular.

Congrats on a great bird buddy.

JD you spoke to soon on this one, lol looks like you got another monster bird. Congrats on a great one. Serious HOOKS


Im going to save the beards and feet and if i get another big one i may use them. just have to see, but i cant see my year getting any better. Its a been a good one and they havent even started gobbling yet. Hopefully i can help some freinds and family get a few birds.

My biggest hope is that i can find some hot jakes or 2yr old birds where i can take my little girl and let her try to get one.


Yeah Jonathan I've been known to get a little worked up on a good duck hunt too, lol Its just something in my blood I guess.
