we had a great time in missouri. heard a lot of birds. i ended up with one bird that was taken the first day. the bird was 18lbs2oz,11 3/4 beard and 3/4 spurs. it was a 2 1/2 year old. funny story about this kill. my huntin buddy and i were taken a break at noon, playing with some new slate calls and having lunch. i heard them (3) long beards as they were running up to us at a fast pace. i got my gun up and they stopped at 15 steps in front of me. i shot one but my buddy was turned the opposite direction and could only watch the show. high fives all around and it was a great start to the week. tried to load a picture, but will need a little IT help first. enjoyed the participation in the turkey contest and maybe next will be better.
