Is that a Rem 870? Aftermarket stock?

 

Ya it’s an 870 super mag that I fitted with magpul stuff (SGA stock and MOE fore end)

 

Bird down!

 

anyone ever see hen turkey with beards? Ive seen a couple out here. Saw one today had a 4inch beard no spurs and looked just like the other hens. There was a yearling tom and he had spurs and a red head. So I know it wasnt a tom.

 

So far in my hunting career I saw 3 hens with beards

 

yeah its weird to see them. Ive also seen a couple whitetail doe with a small spike nub.

 

Took this gobbler on Thurs.

 

wow thats a nice beard on the turkey! do you know what it weighed?

 

Look at the rope on that bad boy!!

 

Thanks, it had about a 10" beard but the girth was huge. I normally take my shotgun shell that I kill with and cut the plastic off and glue the beard in the brass. But there is noway this one will fit

 

Not sure of the weight but I've killed several north of 20lbs and this sucker was as big as any I've killed. Almost 10" beard and 1 1/8" spurs

 

I do the same thing except for this one it’s the longest beard I got so far at 10 1/2”s

 

Michigan open was on Monday 4/23.....I’m currently in Japan for work......keep the pics coming so!!

 

had one gobbling this morning sounded like he was hoarse from gobbling and could barely gobble. Came in to about 40yds but I didnt have a chance to shoot him.

 

Heard nothing this morning so far called in a hen right after daylight

 

Returned from my business trip on Friday. Setup my blind and decoy stakes on Saturday. Got it done this morning within the first half hour....it was an awesome morning and definitely worth the wait!!

 

Not much happening here this am lol

 

Longbeard from last Monday morning...opening day in Ohio
