GLF Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 She is not very big, and I do not think she has any spurs. She has a nice beard for a hen. Speaking of bearded hens, did I tell you about the woman at..... My season starts the 17th. Hopefully I can get one for everyone to shoot for. Here is my bird from 2005. It had 11 1/2" beard and 1 1/8" spurrs. My son wanted in the picture also. He is going to be a fisherman and a hunter. Oh wait...his name is Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIRTY DOG Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 you got that rite mine is almost like shooting a rifled barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLF Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 you got that rite mine is almost like shooting a rifled barrel I have never had a shotgun with a field barrel throw a slug as good as this beretta. All I use are Winchester foster slugs in a 2 3/4" or 3" flavor. I believe it thows a slug better than a lot of the slug barrels out there. Maybe its just the shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Steve, Yes I did get that bird where the area you and I hunt. I been seeing alot of birds there and herd alot towards your woods. Last Friday morning I had a coyote chase off my turkey from your property by the dump. Well lets say he will not be around no more. Also when I was driving to my parking spot Saturday morning. I seen 12-16 coyote pups in the road running around. We may have a problem with coyotes this year. Good luck, Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caznik Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 Well after working third shift last night. I went straight home to see if my dad happen to shoot his turkey for this year. When I went into the house there was my dad and he told me that he finally hit a turkey with his crossbow. After missing three time this year he finally hit one. So then we took a trip in the woods around the back of my house to see if we could find any blood. He showed me where he hit the turkey and then we started to go find some blood. About ten yards from where he happen to shoot it we was on the blood trail. We tracked this turkey for about 20 yards and lost the blood. After looking in the woods for a half an hour, I went back home to get my German shorthair to see if she could find the turkey. I took her at the end of the blood trail and let her sniff around. She was wondering around for about 5 minutes and headed for the swamp grass. As we watched my best buddy in the swamp grass looking around, she started to point at something. It was really cool, She stayed really still on her point. As I started to walk up to her. Then the turkey tried to get up and fly away. My dog then jumped right on top of the big turkey and held it down for me till I could help her out. Well my dad finally shot his first turkey with his new cross bow. 23lb. Turkey 8 1/2" Beard 1 1/4" Spurs Good luck hunters, Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntingfool43 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Well I finally managed to bag my bird today. This is my third year tring to bag a tom and everthing finaly came together. Couldn't get out early this morning and almost decided not to go at all. About 11:30 I took a drive out to 7 acres I own and took a stroll to the back of the property, hoping to catch some bird in te hay feild across the fence. Well I got to the back of my property, corner of the woods and small feild and hit the box call a couple times not expecting a reply. Havent had a bird answer sence the season started on Monday, they would gobble on the rost but as soon as fly down they would shut up and not answer.To my suprise a tom gobbled right back at me from about 150 yards south of me. I went about 30 yards into the woods and set up figuring he would be across the fence in the hay feild. Sure enough after about 20 min. of gobbleing and me answering him he finally came into view in the hay feild. I watched him fan and figured with a nice even tail he wasn't a jake and the rush was really on. At 35 yards I put the bead on his head and lights out. He went 20lbs, 8 inch beard and 3/4 inch spurs. Not the biggest bird in the woods but I was sure happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
