Bird #2 only took a month. - 05/10/21 04:27 PM
A month to the day 1st bird April 10 then I hunted MO for a week and have been to the Black Hills 4X so far in between then and now, picked up my 2nd bird today done by 6:15 came right in no hens or jakes all alone to the top of the draw. I was surprised how few gobbles I heard at sunup, heard other birds but none were close but this one was 100 yards from the top of the draw.
Good thing he was at the top as I was not chasing gobbles in those thick, steep draws as it always ends up in the flats later in the day often.
Not a bad bird 19.5 lb 3/4 in spurs and a 9 in beard thick by SD standards most are pencil thick.
Good thing he came out of this jungle as I did not plan on going in that mess, good cat country.
