NC Opening Day Success
Well the spring season opened in NC yesterday. This year I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to hunt opening day unlike the last two years.
While waiting for this bird to fly down, I could see him strutting and gobbing on his perch high in a tree. It only took a few minutes after he flew down to put him on the ground. The bird weighed a little over 20 lbs., sported 1 3/16" spurs and a 9" beard. I feel very fortunate to have taken this bird as I have not had the opportunity to hunt over the last two years like I have years past.
