Title: Another Hot Hen Victim
Post by: hunter22 on April 21, 2014, 07:46:31 PM
I killed this one today in Arkansas using a Lonnie Sneed Hot Hen slate being run by a West Augusta Dogwood striker and an all-cedar Scott Basehore scratch box. The Hot Hen has accounted for a bunch of dead gobblers.

He had three beards--- 10 1/2 inch, 7 1/2 inch, and 3 1/2 inch.

Spurs were 1 1/8 and 1 1/4 inches

He weighed 23 pounds.

Congrats on a great trophy Rickey.  I'm sure glad that you didn't start notching that striker.  Wouldn't be much left by now.  :TooFunny:

Congrats on a very fine bird Rickey. Are the birds gobbling good in AR? Been tough sledding around here this year. Heard more this past weekend than I did all season.

Jody,

I heard one bird gobble in three days of hunting and killed him. I heard 8 different birds gobbling three weeks ago in the same area I killed the bird. I am hunting a different area tomorrow and hopefully will hear some to get after. Hard to hunt birds that are not gobbling.
