A buddy of mine took me out this morning and we ended up getting a couple of birds. His had some pretty good sprus (1 1/8"), but mine had all the beard (9 1/4", 4 1/2" and 3 1/2").   |

Thanks for the congrats. We were in Ohio County. We had hit a couple of spots and couldn't get to a couple of birds because of high water, so we headed off to another.
My buddy and I were working the edges of some cow pastures throwing some yelps down into the draws and I happened to catch a glimpse of something white across the way. Through my bino's I could see only a birds head and part of his fan....and lots of hens on the other side of the draw he was in.
We sit for about 40 minutes and watched hens leave him until he decided to gobble all on his own. He looked like he was going to head the other direction so I yelped to him a couple of times and he answered and came back up to the edge of the pasture. We didn't know there were two birds until I stood up to see over a little hill in the middle of the field and they were all ready half way across it, headed straight to us. I had slipped my buddies jake decoy out with a hen just over the rise and they didn't like that at all when they got were they could see it.
My buddy was set up higher than me, so he saw both birds before I did. When I finally saw them both, he shot and mine made a little circle. I had to stand up and cut a couple of times to get him to stop running to the dead bird, but shot him at 40 yards.
It was one of the best hunts I ever remember being on with someone else.
