Thanks again guys, I just noticed that you all just noticed about the fall harvest. I made a trip up the same knob where this fellow came from, on Sunday morning, and seen three of his kin-folk struttin' all about. One, and I'm not foolin' ya' , has at least a 12 inch beard as big around as my fore arm. Last spring season , a landowner who owns land up to the state forest land that I frequent, killed a 25 lb bird, with a 13 inch beard. One of the reasons I hunted there in the fall. Man, I can hardly wait for MAY 3rd to arrive.
