Had a buddy who's dad several years back killed one with three strands that went 18 inches. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen and measured it myself.
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

How is it even possible for a turkey to have a 21" beard ? take an 11" beard and add three 21" hairs that are curled up and not straight.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
