huntlines Report post Posted May 2, 2013 My son got this nice tom Saturday afternoon in unit 1. He didn't gobble until he was right on top of us. He is one of the biggest birds we have ever taken with an 11 inch beard and nearly 1 3/4 spurs! Seems like they were just getting starting this weekend so the second hunt should be the better hunt this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Willyhunts2 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 That's a great bird, congrats to you and your son. I hope your right about the second hunt being good. The area I hunt was burnt by the fire pretty bad and I haven't drawn turkey since the year of the fire. I'm hoping they have moved back into the area with all the new growth. Congrats again to you guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
