[QUOTE="bigtex, post: 5086724, member: 2245"] I called in this bird but even though he looked big he had a "short" beard, so thinking he was a Jake I passed. He finally left after not finding romance and then after getting out of range went into full strut showing me his full fan tail. I sat silent for awhile and then gave a few more soft calls. He immediately answered and I could see him on a distant ridge going into full strut. A few more calls and he eased his way down the ridge and into range. I hesitated once again after seeing that short beard but when he fanned out that's all it took. Ya can't eat the beard!! Anywho, he's probably a 2 year old bird. 1" sharp spurs, 6" beard and weighed 18 lbs. That's it for me this year as I have a self imposed two bird limit on my place. May go sit a time or two just to see what's around. [ATTACH type="full"]71841[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
