Got my bird

It's opening day in Michigan and I scored. Well, it's not the biggest bird in the world but I called him and a jake in and whacked him. He didn't call at all. I had a set up that was just perfect. I would have had to really mess up to be spotted. He was as close as 10 yards and I finally let him have it at about 15. He's about a 6" beard with not quite 1" spurs. Good good eat'in!

Yeah, Genesee county spring gobbler. We are getting so many birds down here. I remember when you had to go up north to even have a chance.
 
Nice bird

Good hunting. So do you remove all the feathers and make him look store bought. Or skin it? I've wondering how people clean their turkeys.
 
Congrats

I got one friday at less than 7 yards. He had a weird beard. Only the bottom 1/3 was growing and the last two inches were curvy.
It was only 7 1/4" and should have been more like 9 1/2" (comparing his spurs to others I have killed/seen in the area)
 
congrats

Looks like a good enough bird to me! And when the bead was on him, he looked plenty big I'm thinkin'. Way to go.
