Its been challenging here in the catskills. Birds are a bit reluctant to work at times. Hunted every morning except today. Gobbling has been off and on here. With that said i shot a Tom on wed. morning 18lbs.,7"beard and 3/4 spurs. I called in two the next morning and deepsleep shot a nice 20lb,81/2 in. beard 3/4 spurred bird.

Well I had a fun weekend. Didnt get to bring anything home but I get see a nice tom on Saturday. He came running in but stopped about 60 yards out. Just a little to far.

seemed to be a strange year around here, birds only talking good once in awhile, hens all over the place but they didnt talk much either, still have birds with 6 or 8 hens with them, all that said, still got 5 longbeards with the group of 5 guys I hunt with, and a few of them shot jakes too. LOts of jake birds around so next year should be fun.

this bird was tagged by penn state unaversity in worchester ny and was shot in otego! big tom 10" beard and weighed aprox18lbs. i think the spurs were onlt about 1 1/4 " can't remember for sure . but it had two taggs one said $100 reward! the other was a report harvest with phone #. it was prety cool. they said they tagged quite a few so keep an eye out. sometimes it does pay to hunt!

I hope he was getting his frequent flyer miles. That's a pretty good haul, even for a turkey
