    Cumberland County, NC:

    This past weekend I was reminded of the undervalued and usually neglected importance of the three S's. Three simple rules that I was taught we I started hunting years ago when chasing the eastern turkey. STILL, SOFT & STAY.

    About 8 month prior…

    Yesterday my ten year old son Tucker bagged his first gobbler. We live in Warren County and he has been hunting for a few seasons now, but has never been able to get on a bird. Yesterday after school, his step dad asked him if he wanted to go across the farm and see if they could scout out any…

There was a hen with a beard they had been watching for the last 11 or 12 years. She was always on camera, always the first the disappear during breeding season and…

    Thickest beard I have ever taken
    btsharky

    April 15, 2018 at 9:19am
    Really thick beard and 1.25' spurs. The actual thickest part of the beard is 10.5 inches but some strands reach to 11. Came in quiet trailing a lone hen and gave me a shot at 45 yards. A Winchester Longbeard 3.5 #6 took him down right in his tracks. Got him in Martin County on 4-14-2018 at 9am.

    I'm a firm believer that if you put in enough time in the turkey woods, even though you'll go home most of the time scratching your head or muttering under your breath about the one that got away, every once in a while, you'll kill a bird you didn't deserve to…

    On my first real attempt to turkey hunt I bagged a nice gobbler after a two hour talk and stalk. After calling in one bird shortly after I arrived but not seeing it, I moved to the opposite end of the property and called and two gobblers responded. For about the next two hours we talked back and…

    I shot this bird on Monday at 7:45am after over an hour of gobbling. I knew at least 2 birds were roosting in the area from hearing the gobbles opening morning. I got closer to the roost monday morning and at 6:20 am they gobbled at an owl hooting. I sat down and got ready expecting it to be a…

    Father and son double on opening day

    One week after my son shot his first ever turkey, we end up doubling on open day. That morning one hen came out in the field followed by 3 toms, they finally made there way up to our decoys. The rest is history. One hunt we will never forget!

    Rare White Turkey

    This bird was taken by this youth hunter south of Garland off the South River. This was the first turkey harvest for this young hunter who hunted this tom for 3 days before getting him into range. This bird has been seen for 2 years by the landowners.

    We have seen several around the Pitt co. Green co. Area. Some all white some speckled. I'm surprised that they survived in the wild to get breeding age. They sure stand out even alone.

    Looks pretty funky - GT might have some idea what that's caused by. Let us know what the biologist says.
    Congrats on the bird - 1 7/8 spurs is awesome. Too bad about the beard, I bet he'd of had a rope.
