I was able to get great video footage of an awesome hunt in middle TN! The field was full of birds to include 9 Toms. I had 3 Toms hang-up just out of range and after about a 10 min. stand-off they finally commit and came in nicely!

awesome video!! congrats nothing like having a field full of birds on you like that with multiple gobblers!!

my buddy got a bearded hen 9in.weather has sucked for me iv worked 3 birds and no shots this has ben the worst year iv had in a long time.

great video it got me pumped

took off all week in ohio to hunt. monday morning i dropped a 23lb 1 1/4 in spurs, cant tell you how big the beard was bc i shot it off.. 15 yards with a 3.5in turkey load will do some damage lol.. thursday i called in a 22lb 11.5in beard and 1 1/2in spurs to my cousin that smoked him at 40 yards.. i took pics of that one just havent loaded them on photobucket yet.. all in all it was a nice week of vacation. turkey hunted in the mornings and picked mushrooms and ran dogs in the afternoons!!!

Nice video! And congrats!! Knocked down two last week here in WV.

opening day my 13 year nephew shot his first one 21 lbs 10 1/2 beard 1 1/4 spurs had at least 4-6 gobbling on roost right near us 7:10 he came into field walked to within 7 yds of blind after shot my friend who was calling for us told him go get him said nephew was shaking so bad could hardly hand it to him i know it was pretty cool seeing his face when he got out to it and looked back at us

Thanks guys for the feedback - been a good turkey season here so far... still have one more tag to fill!

I got mine this morning!! Only get one here in Michigan.

Looks like a great bird! Did u score him?
Pete

Dont know how to score him but he was 23 pounds, 10 in beard, and 1 1/8" spurs. Solid 3 1/2 yr old bird.

That would be a NWTF Score of 65.5. Spurs x 10 + Beard x 2 + Weight = Total Score.
Congrats,
Pete

My buddy got this one. 5 beards he said it scored 110. Im not sure what that means cause i dont hunt them

That's a heck of a non-typ gobbler! I've shot one w/ 5 beards that looked just about like that a few years back... also have shot a couple w/ 2 beards. Its pretty rare to shoot a bird w/ more than one beard!
