He gets so worked up that he has a hard time to shoot lol
But this time at 30 yards he got it done and free hand at that!

Awesome!

I’ve never killed a multiple bearded bird in which the secondary beards were that close in size to the original beard. They always seem to diminish in size in VA.

Each of my 3 boys killed their first longbeards by the time they were 7. I can remember each specific hunt like it was yesterday. Take you a couple of extra mental snapshots. They grow up way too quick!

Congrats again to the young buck.

I'd have a smile like that had I just shot a double beard. Those are huge. Congratulations young man.

Cool. Most people could hunt there whole life and not kill a turkey like that. Turkey hunts with youngsters can be a challenge but they are the most rewarding. Great job Dad.
