[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4438037, member: 1409"] My season ended very similarly to how it began --- with another [i]DOUBLE[/i] harvest :) We never heard a single gobble on our last morning to hunt, yet did call in these two nice longbeards. I let the lady pick out the one she wanted, then I shot the other. One had 1.0" spurs, the other had 1.3" spurs. Both birds were head shot at under 15 yards, no pellets in the breast --- good eatin' --- I'm happy :D [url=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/WesParrish/media/2017%2004-29%20Double.jpg.html][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/WesParrish/2017%2004-29%20Double.jpg[/img][/url] The below pic (with story) was posted at the beginning of this thread, and was from the season's first weekend --- a very exciting opening weekend! [url=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/WesParrish/media/1e662a82-ee44-417c-b89f-9bc70efde24e.jpg.html][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/WesParrish/1e662a82-ee44-417c-b89f-9bc70efde24e.jpg[/img][/url] Was a season with two double kills, all up close & personal head shots on strutting Toms. Should add, seemed the late-season surviving male birds were mostly back in little bachelor groups, very clam-mouthed, and mostly in a feeding pattern. Also seems in my hunting areas, about 80% of the longbeards were wiped out during the first 10 days of the season, and it's mainly jakes that have survived. I almost feel guilty for taking a late-season longbeard, but did pass up three, maybe four high-probabily LB kills during the early part of season. Overall, had a good turkey season this year. :) [/QUOTE]
