West Augusta

It was pretty cold this opening morning of the West Virginia spring turkey season.  I looked more like I was going deer hunting not turkey hunting.  But, with the help of a Frank Kruer copper with my Macassar Ebony striker and my Titanium pot with one of my Dymondwood strikers, I got my heaviest bird to date to come in after more than 2 hours of coaxing.

I even set up on the wrong side of the hill.  He came down the hill, across a small creek and up my side. 
21 pounds 3 oz.
10 7/16" beard
1 5/16" spurs.

The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.
