Title: Tennessee is now a memory---what a beard !!!!
Post by: jmck on May 12, 2011, 01:08:08 PM: Well, here is my last harrah in the great Volunteer State. Been seeing this "pasture Poodle" quite a few times and really thought it had 2 great beards of the same length---didnt really think it was a split beard--had him figured for a true double. I was wrong...not dissapointed at the least.
Went in there this morn , sat down to listen, and heard not even a peep on the roost. Flat confused me---knew there were 3 longbeards together courting hens every day here. Sat there about 40 minutes and decided it was time to climb the mountain and find em. Suddenly here they came---never a sound, and marching single file like soldiers. 85yds in the field and on a mission....called at em---they gobbled but continued their steady track. ???
Let them continue and low and behold...they locked down right where I started to set origionally. >:(
I was across the field(150yds) but could see and hear the show great!!! Watched em about two hours as they gobbled up 3 hens. Looked as if they were committing to go back with the hens the way they came through the pasture. Its was time to move!!!! Crawled into the creek bed and took off. Got 1/4 mile ahead of em and crossed in a low spot....came back down the fencline, and they're they were...still in the same place ...huh >>>
Then they did make their move---right across a cross fence where I watched eariler...it was time to move again and fast -right back to where I origionally was *lol*!!!! Got into shape and settled in.....3 longbeards and 3 hens saundered into range. There was one with a longer beard....but this paintbrush that I thought was a double was the bird I was after. He had 10 3/4 beard(very very thick) and just less that 1 1/4 inch spurs. A great way to shut down my Tennessee season !!!
