TookyriverCalls Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I hope everyone had a just as awesome season as I did! My PA opening day Jake / 4 ¾” beard - 5/8” spurs NH gobbler called in for a friend / 21lb - 9+ beard – 1” spurs (I think these stats are right) Quote
TookyriverCalls Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 My second day NH gobbler / 21lb - 8” beard - ¾” spurs My VT gobbler / 20lb - 8” beard - 1 1/8” & 1 9/16” spurs Quote
TookyriverCalls Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 She messed up my VT hunt & paid the ultimate price for it! Shot less than 10ft away. Last day VT Jake / 16lb - 4” beard - ½” spurs Quote
TookyriverCalls Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 My bearded hen on the last day of NY / 11lb - 7 ¾” beard My VT gobbler and this bearded hen will both be mounted on the same display for when I do sport shows. They'll make for a great booth display Quote
CraigL Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Awesome season and nice birds! I am still feeling guilty when I sleep until 6:00 AM, I can't mentaly let the season go. I'll post some pics later. I killed 3 birds between NY and PA. One of the birds was 23lbs! 9 1/2" beard, 1 1/8 spurs! Mywife told me if I had a turkey mounted she would leave, I hope the taxedermist hurries up with it Quote

Mywife told me if I had a turkey mounted she would leave, I hope the taxedermist hurries up with it Thanks! I wish my wife would give that kind of ultimatum! I’d have them all mounted I couldn’t pass up on the 1 9/16 spur gobbler and then the hen. The best spurred gobbler I've ever taken plus my first bearded hen. She actually was pretty pissed about me getting the hen mounted as well. Lucky for me, my taxidermist is a great friend of mine and it will only cost me $700 for the two birds and the base display. I’m going to have the gobbler standing relax with the hen feeding in front of him. I thought it would really show off her beard (which was 7 ¾” long) and the gobbler hooked sword will be seen good in the standing position as well. Quote
Sawyer Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 i have a feeling when i get married that will be the reason for most of our fights, what i can and cant mount. Quote
DU4ME2 Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 At least the SBEII got a good work out.... I took 2 birds this season here in WI.. Great season!! Quote
TMAC Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 i have a feeling when i get married that will be the reason for most of our fights, what i can and cant mount. what you can and cant mount will always be an issue Quote
