Great day yesterday here in the swamps of south Ga.... Thanks to some quick manevering by ClayC and I yesterday......three longbeards came in...killed the first longbeard that cleared the brush. One stood there and other flew off into creek bottom. Decided not to shoot another gobbler as Ga's season goes to May 15th. Gobbler that flew away suddenly came aggressively running back when bird I shot began flopping. Couldnt help myself...lol. Exciting!!!!!! Clay had a great weekend too, but I'll let him tell those stories and post pics if he decides too. Enjoyed hunting with you again. Hope we hear many more gobbles!!!!

Hey Patrick, post those pictures for me please. Never done it before and I’d struggle figuring out how! Lol Another great trip to almost Florida! 12 years straight making that 1000 mile journey to chase them swamp gobblers. Been worth every mile! Saturday (Opening day) was cool, cloudy, and windy. Got on some birds gobbling on the roost and called 4 longbeards in my lap. I killed 1 and could have doubled easily, but I let the others walk off. Called another one up that afternoon at 2:30 in a clover patch that the landowner appropriately calls the gobbler field! Sunday it rained all day and the wind blew terrible. I stayed in the woods all day, but spent several hours calling from deer blinds during the worst of the rain. I saw 2 hens all day long. Never heard a gobble all day until I was walking out after fly up I got one to gobble from his roost. Got him pinpointed good and killed him Monday morning at 8:20. I hustled back and got with Patrick and we went to the woods and called the 3 in that he described. Action packed hunt again! Thanks for the hunt buddy, and especially thank Michelle for the awesome meals! That woman can flat cook!

Nice turkey's Clayc, that turkey in first picture has a nice beard.
We see a cross between the eastern and rio grande here off and on. That first one was a 2 year old gobbler. 3/4” Spurs. But he had the best beard. I’m a spur guy lol. The other two were 3 and 4 year olds. Hybrid turkey are common many places. I think the majority of the turkey in Nebraska are some combination of hybrid.
