It was cold and wet Sat. morning March 5 , the opening of Mississippi youth season.  But my paw-in-law had been hearing these 4 two-year olds science the end of deer season, they were as close as you could get to being "tied down".    We sliped in in the pre dawn darkness ,  soon afterwords we heard our first gobble of the season ,  a few yelps and about 10 gobbles ,  we were greated with 4 mississippi longbeards coming up the logging road.   

Pick out a close one son,  they were all about 25 steps ,  and the 20ga. roared.  Then the high-fiving, and neckhugging began.    9 in. beard,  .75 spurs,  19 lds.


Sorry for the delay and darkness of the pictures,  maybe we will get to work on our picture taking skills.
