It took until 10:20 yesterday morning, but I got him. Heard three gobblers from the roost, though they didn't have much to say from the ground. Later in the morning, I had an adult hen & two...

Nice bird Jim. Did you ever wonder why some birds get the barred color of the wings on some of the tail feathers? I have seen this in several other birds in the past. It kind of gives them an idenity,...

Yes it's an 870. Ive had it about 18 years. The grooved forarm is an after market piece I put on. The cool thing about the 870 is all the accessories you can get for it. When it is not bird season my...

I've still got this guy hanging around. Thinks he's king of the roost with his buddy out of the way. I dont think Im going to take him though cause Id like to see more of them around for next year....

That's awesome Daniel. If you let him hang out, he may get pretty big over the next few years. We had a couple of longbeards here at the house that left when they started expanding the sub-division...
