Covehnter Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 :D 19 lb public lander sporting a pair of beards- 9 1/2" and 2 3/8", Spurs came in at 1 1/16" and 1". First attempt using the camera mount on the gun. . . . it made some rough footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleA Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 covehnter, congrats on your opening day bird, always nice to tag a gobbler with more than one beard. I can see where the gun mounted camera is a bit rough, even had held can be, it's still best for a staionary or tripod mount for good steady smooth footage.

Flintlock1776 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Cool beans! Great photo. I'll be in Georgia for the hunt later in the season. I just got the Epic Action Stealth Cam package and in just testing it out will accomplish what I want it to do even with some limitations to the camera's issues with very low light. Nice that you got it on public land! Did you bump into a lot of other hunters or have the place to yourself? I awalys wondered how crowded public hunting spots can get.

Covehnter Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Congrats on a nice public land bird I know how they can be. Are you going to put any of the footage up so we can see how it all went down. I could but the footage is not real good, got audio though. Problem is you can't zoom with the camera mounted cause both hands are on the gun. Therefore the 30 yard shot looks like 130. I've got a couple settings now so hopefully if.I am lucky enough to connect again it will turn out better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntn4bucks Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Congrats Cove! Seems like those GA public land birds hold quite a few multiple bearded gobblers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covehnter Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Congrats Cove! Seems like those GA public land birds hold quite a few multiple bearded gobblers. I just hope in dont drop that horseshoe. Which I aint gotta problem with them one bearded one's either if they wanna gobble and die. So whats the deal? Them rocky mountain birds still got ya number? I've wrestled with one now for 3 days, got some good footage of him but still havent held him upside down yet and he's gettin' under my skin. Ah I love the springtime.
