Quick update: My first bird from Missouri on the first morning of the spring 2013 trip with a 15 3/4 inch beard ranks #3 in Missouri with the NWTF and in the top 20 for all Easterns!!!! Who would have thought that a few attached strands of that beard would be that long!   |

Excellent bird...
The Indiana record had a 15 1/2" beard and was taken by Joe Bacon.
I believe in that case the few strands that reached that length grew down inside the breast feathers and were not subjected to the ground wearing them off.

Sounds like a great trip, hunt, and memories. Taking trophy beards is just honey on the biscuits!

Wow, sounds like an awesome trip! How was the weather?
I think Tennesse also allows two birds.

They had some rain leading up to the week we hunted, but not a great deal of rain. Missouri has enough birds in the area I hunt for the 2 bird in the spring hunts! A great place to go after Easterns! |

Thanks Kevin, Did you hunt public land? Someday, I'd like to go to Ky, Tenn or Missouri to hunt turkey, but really don't know how to start planning a trip. The two bird limit and an early start is enticing to me. I'm new to all of this, but at this point I can't see hunting anything that would be more fun than turkey. It was the interaction between hunter and bird that was so much fun for me. However, from reading posts it sounds like I have a lot exciting hunting ahead of me. I was a little surprised to see how much the weather impacted the turkey at the beginning of this year's season. I learned a lot. Thanks again! Jon Snow |

Jon Snow Jon Snow I hunt private land in Missouri, but there is plenty of great public land that is available as well in Missouri. Go to the Missouri DNR web site and you can see that the state is loaded with great amount of prime deer and turkey land that is open to all that want to hunt it. Once you get hooked on turkey hunting, you will be hooked for life! It is the greatest fun to listen and communicate with those so very hard to kill wild turkeys. Just like with any wild game the weather does play a factor in the hunt, but if you figure them out before they figure you out! And Good luck with that! -you then can use the weather to your advantage. It's just soo darn fun and you meet the nicest people when your out in the turkey woods. Good luck and have fun! Kevin |
