First one was on Wed. 4/30... 21 lb 11 oz 10.5" beard Second one was on Fri. 5/2... 18 lb 5 oz 7.5" beard. The first one is at the taxidermist!

SWEET!!!! We sure are rockin'!!

Well I tagged out this a.m. on my second bird at 10:10. He is not as big as the one Wed but respectable at 18 lb 5 oz, with 1 1/16" spurs with a 7.5" beard. Now I can rest!!

Can't seem to figure out how to put my photos all together for the entry post??? I have them saved in R-tree?? I never tried to put more than one pic at a time in a post before today?

Wow...it must be something in the air. This morning I went on a run/gun mission since I have not hunted my area and because I was hunting at my Dads. Well I was out at dawn and had one answer but it would not commit so I left it alone. I traveled to the area where my son shot his and walked and called to see if I could strike something. About 7:50am I let out a call on the box call and get a thundering gobble back. I plop down and get the gear on and call again...he is coming...about 100 yards out I see this big fan and huge head coming through the woods..spitting and drumming the whole way to the gun where he met a load of #6 Hevi shot from my Moss 935. He weighed 21lb 11 oz (digital scale), 10.5 inch beard, one spur was about 13/16", the other was 1 1/16". He is at the taxidermist as I type!!

Well had some birds going Sat but could not close the deal Rained ruined Monday...called in 2 jakes this a.m. Just got home from Dads to try here for the rest of the week. I wish the weather would have stayed nice...not as much gobbling as there was before the rain and cold front in Dads area.

Well...made it to my Dads Wed evening...God that 4 hour drive is begining to feel like 6!!!! I must be getting old!!! We have been out the last 2 mornings and the boys have been talking good in this part of PA. The weather may be the winner tomorrow? I have the whole week off so I'll give it heck. Gotta run and get ready for the races tonite. Good Luck

If it rains ...hit the field edges. I'll be in Bedford County for the opener for a couple days to hunt with my Pops. Going to the local dirt track to see the Lucas Oil Late Models on friday...can't wait!!!!!!!!!

AWESOME B-tech!!! Way to put some points up. Congrats. What part of Ill. are you from?

Well my son Shane dropped the hammer on his first bird this morning. He got a nice jake and he is so proud. I told him yesterday that it was up to him to take a jake or wait for a longbeard. I was surprised he even got up this morning since he has been very sick all week but he cowboyed up and got up at 4:30. It won't win any contests but I can't be happier!!

Took him last year (mentored/could shoot but not carry gun) but only had 2 days all season to hunt with him. This year he gets to carry his own gun(12) and we should get out a couple more days..hopefully.

Went out scouting for my son a daybreak and first stop I heard 2...thought coool. Drove down the road abot 1/2 mile and there on the road was 10 jakes 1 longbeard and about 5 hens! Drove a bit further and saw one longbeard cross the road and a bit further saw a hen with about an 8" beard! Looks good for the youth opener Sat.

Or......did they finally play a team better??!!

I'll be out Sat a.m. in PA with my son...saw some strutters today.

Keep after them boys...taking my son out on Sat for the youth opener. Saw 2 strutters about 3 miles from the house today..we'll see!!!!

Just checking in....was in Florida for a week. The second day there we were traveling on the outskirts of town and across the road from a busy mall in a field was a big old tom and his girls...I just about jumped out of the car to try and get him to gobble but the wife would not stop along a 4 lane!!!!!

Thanks Dear!

Is Nick still around??? We should see about getting our new team member added to our banner.

Penguins Clinch Division!!!!!!!!!!!!! Atlantic Division Champs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pure Gold .555 with 3" Hevi-13 6 shot.

You cannot sell chokes on e-bay anymore...keep an eye over at oldgobbler.com in the class. section..may find one there.

12 or 20... I have one for a 20 popper.

Keep after him...maybe the silent treatment will pull him after letting him know you are there and the hens wander off to nest. He'll make a mistake sooner or later.
