Title: Vermont Longbeard
Post by: Steve Leffler on May 12, 2007, 12:11:00 PM
Took my best VT turkey ever this am.  He came on the run to a strutting tome decoy.  I have been working on this bird for over a week.  11 yard shot.  Used a string tracker for the first time but he dropped on the spot and it wasn't needed.  I have  been trying for a bunch of years to kill a mature tom in VT with my bow.  21 lbs.  1 1/4 in spurs 10 inch beard.  I am a tired but happy guy right now.  http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m14/p143297/DSC02136.jpg

Not yet Steve. Little League is killing me. We've got Saturday games now. I'm still after turkeys. I went out yesterday afternoon to set my blind up for Monday morning. Schafer and I had some coming in on youth weekend but we got nailed by a hen that snuck in.
