    Love it, keep the pics coming!

    I just plain like watching turkeys, and usually if I can get them to a feeder, I’ll bring out the spotting scope and check out their spur lengths and all kinds of other fun stuff.

    Doesn’t surprise me that you already ranged the distance…

    A smart guy would have built the house closer to the feeder!

    First bird I shot years ago was a bearded hen. But it was fall season and I jump shot it. I have one bearded hen in the group visiting my yard now. And one Tom with no beard what so ever and he’s big.

    I missed one two years ago…. I would have to think that would be a different trophy. You don’t see many of them and she was never with the other hens and was always by herself. It seemed that she always ran the other birds off.
