Tennessee Double-Bearded Gobbler
I got this double-bearded gobbler hunting with Lynn Hayes, a good friend, in Henry County, Tennessee on April 14. He weighed 20 lbs, had two 9" beards and 3/4" spurs.
It was raining pretty heavy, we had 4 or 5 birds gobbling good on the roost but as soon as they flew down they got quiet. The turkey I got never even gobbled, he came out of the woods into the opening we were hunting about 150 yards from our set-up and came right into the decoys.
I was using the HS Strut Glass Witch and an E-Z Duece Cutter calls. The Winchester Xtended Range #6's through my T/C Encore Pro Hunter 12 gauge dropped him in his tracks @ 18 yards.
Hope everyone else is enjoying some success in the woods or on the water this Spring.
