Didn't use a Fox gun, but filled 2 turkey tags!
Two birds in three days back from the Spring Southern!! Bird 1 was a huge Tom, 24 lbs, 9 1/4" paintbrush beard and total 2 5/16" spurs at 8:15 AM on 1 May. Bird 2 was a bearded hen that I always wanted. She sported a 6 1/4" beard and came in with 3 gobblers. She was taken at 15 yards left handed. Now it's time to move on to shooting some chucks.

That is great, Mike! I too have killed a bearded hen back in the day when I turkey hunted. The one I killed came in alone to a hen yelp. The feathers on the bird were as black as a tom's feathers. Were the hen's feathers as black as your gobbler?

THX Jim. No, she was the usual dusty bronze of a hen. I was hoping she had spurs, but the beard was good enough. It's at the taxidermist.

So the Mrs. finally tagged her very first gobbler!! 7:00 on Monday AM at 15 yards. Big Tom, 22 lbs, 10 1/4" beard and total 2 6/16" spurs. He came in and whooped up on a jake decoy and as soon as he paused and stuck out his neck, BANG!!!! To say she's excited is an understatement!! TEAM CRESCENT RULES!!!!!

Way to go momma! Good to know you are not just another pretty face behind the counter.
Owning a Fox is not a spectator sport.

I was kinda wondering how Mike landed such a nice looking wife. Must be his "charm".DarylC wrote:Way to go momma! Good to know you are not just another pretty face behind the counter.
