KY last day public land gobbler

[Double B]

Finally put an end to a very enjoyable season about 7:45 this morning.  Had 2 birds gobbling about 250 to 300 yards out off the end of the ridge, across a small drainage on the other hillside.  I called and moved up 3x and at third set up on the side of the ridge tip, I called in 2 separate hens and had good conversation with my glass call and Schaffer maple slate.  He had gotten quiet, I quit calling and I was thinking, where'd he go........when he thunder gobbled out in front of me and just out of view below.   I put the bead on the racket and he walked through, nervous and slick about 35 to 40 yards in front of me, crossing a finger.  I putted to stop him and black Betty laid him low w Longbeard 6's.  10" beard, 1" spurs and around 21 lbs.

Congrats way to stick with them.

Got to ask did your boot or Longbeard's take all the feathers off the back of his neck?

Yeah, that was a combo of Longbeard and Lacrosse....got on him a little low.  Just a little fired up this morning.

  that's what its all about when it quits firing us up we need to quit chasing them.
