western NY bowhunter Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Well, my cousin came down for the weekend to do some hunting and I managed to call him in a fine NY longbeard this morning! We heard six gobblers in all. This one was the closest. He was all fired up but wouldn't budge so I stopped calling and a few minutes later he came into investigate. Not a bad gobbler for his first spring bird...18.5 lbs. (a couple of lbs. under average for this area), really thick 10.5" paintbrush beard and 7/8" spurs. This is my best start to season ever....I've called 3 longbeards into the gun in 5 days of hunting. Man it sure is fun!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Re: Another one down in NY.... Awesome!! Us New Yorkers are having some seriously good luck this spring!! I think it has to do with the great hatch we had last spring and the mild winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
