Surgery bird #2

I went back to the doctor Thursday and got staples out and a good report. He released me to drive and get out a little, just instructed me not to over do it or lift anything heavy. I was feeling good this morning so I got out and started looking for a bird. Finally struck one that was a short walk from the truck. Turned out to be 3 gobblers with 4-5 hens. After about an hour and half, I had all three within 30 yards. The bird doing most of the strutting had a short beard due to beard rot but I thought he might be an older bird the way he was acting. I chose to shoot him over the other two gobblers. Turned out to be a 2 year old with 1" spurs but I don't care. I'm just happy that I'm recovering and able to go a little. Rem 870 compact 20ga. TSS #9. Good luck to you all.

Nice bird, Congrats!

Glad i'm not the only one who's killed a 2 y.o bird with a short beard lol.
He'll eat just as good as a bird with a 12" beard.
Congrats on a successful hunt!!

congrats

Congratulations
