Went down to visit my buddy Ragsdale in South Carolina again and once again he delivered the goods. This bird started gobbling early and often which helped us set up within about 75 yards of him without getting busted. He almost gobbled himself hoarse in the tree, but as soon as he flew down he was on a rope and he got it in the face at about quarter to seven. It was about as text book as it gets. I am disappointed the footage is so lousy. I was really hoping the audio on the gopro would pick up his gobbling because he had to gobble at least 157 times before he flew down.
This bird had a double beard with the main beard at 12 inches and the second at 6.5 inches. He also had 1 1/8inch spurs. He is the biggest bird I have ever killed and ties for the longest beard ever shot on the property, and Rags and crew kill A LOT of turkeys.
