Aight guys we all know the elusive lang beard can be pretty tricky sometimes but there is always an exception to that. So lets hear some stories of the easiest bird you ever got to put the lead to.
Mine goes as such,
One morning, get this, last day of forth season 4 years ago (never give up) down in southern Iowa me and the old man (no offence guys) were out early as can be and its still almost pitch dark out. All of a sudden we hear a gobbler bust out about 100 to 150 yards out. We were both taken off guard. We stand there for a while to see what else was going on and he just didnt shut up, so naturally we decided to work him. We give him a few tree yelps and he just goes nuts. He flys down and just comes in like he hadent seen a hen all year. We hardly called at all. We have a decoy set up about 20 yards out and as soon as he sees it we could hear him go into full strut. It was incredible. There he was full fanned spitin and drummin it doesnt get any better then that. About 15 minutes after he flew down, and still not even completely light out, he was in my vest ready for the 3 hour drive home. It was a classic hunt like you see in videos. 23lbs, 10inch beard and 1 inch spurs. Couldnt believe it and the best part was that me and my dad were there together to experience the whole thing.
