Things are warming up and so are the Turkeys, Took this 24.5 lb. 11-inch Beard Tom on Saturday opening day ! Some times luck is as good as skill, he was not going to leave his hens but couple of purrs brought him just close enough for a look a look with his group of hens to smack him with some # 4 shot !

Nice bird you got! Us southerners get a little head start chasing the long beards, I've got one with a 10 1/4 beard, and called one in for my wife that had a 10 1/2 beard so far this spring. The rainy weather has made it difficult since opening weekend though. Good luck to all you turkey killers out there!

Guys I do not get in the " Zone " very often but this is my second bird of the season on my second morning hunt. My bird on the top of this thread was a good one but this one is really a good bird. My best so far 26 lbs. 11 inch beard and 1 3/8 spurs. I just hope my luck will hold till fall for deer and elk. This past week has been do no wrong and the turkeys in Tennessee are suicidal. I am going to buy a lotto ticket before my luck runs out. (LOL) !

Thanks that was a three day drawing hunt on public land. I have drawn it 7 times and have called and killed 7 birds.It is by far my favorite place to turkey hunt. It is a pristine river bottom hunt. Beautiful place!!
