Last Friday was the first time for her in the woods this spring.... with the help of our host Hollar Hunter and alot of luck, she scored a good bird.

22lbs, 2ozs on weight
1 3/16" & 1 5/16" spurs
9 7/8" beard

To say we worked for this bird is an understatement!! HH can attest to that.... 2 miles hiking, 250 yards belly crawling in creek bottom between the creek (river after the heavy rain Thursday) and large open field.... having hens within 8 feet and practically walking over us... flushing them across the creek during mid day set-up and then calling two gobblers and a hen back to our side of the creek.... then 20 yards spittin-n-drumin when the safety was clicked off, was all priceless.... 5+ hour ordeal and it was finally over.... She had the best shot as I was facing the other direction... or it could have been a possible double....

Thanks again HH for the hunt of her life!!
 
Awesome deal, HH told me she got one, just wish I could have been out there hunting those woods with yall. Next year I'll have to not try so hard to kill a bird every time I hunt :D Congrats Mrs Grizzly on a fine longbeard
 
No doubt we worked for that bird! Wouldn't have wanted it any other way though. We did and had about everything happen one could think of on a turkey hunt. Than in the end to sweet talk them Toms for an hour that spooked across the river and have to watch them walk and strut that bluff edge FOREVER before finally flying back over to our side. THAN watching them spitting and drumming FOREVER before she could get a shot, it was about all we could take!!!

I had a great time with y'all and looking forward to next time...
