Congrats Ithica! I have never killed a double bearded bird much less a triple. I'm not sure I could have stayed calm enough to pull my jacket off and lift my gun w/o getting caught. Way to go....
Don't worry Shadow, my dollar will keep your's company....:D
I had a ruff year also. The big boys just didn't want to cooperate. At least you got to get out some and have a good time. I always injoy being out. Don't matter if I kill one or not...
CTH, We are just adding the spurs and the beards. Didn't want to use the NWTF system because it takes weight into affect. Since all of us are not hunting the same species we decided to leave out the weight and just add the inches.
My pup is running his pads off every time I turn him loose now. He is bad to run over 12 hours in the pen. Last time it took him two weeks to walk on all four feet again. Has anyone ever tried the Tuff Foot products? What else will help tuff'n up his feet? Will his feet get better w/ age or is...
Welcome Triggman! All hound hunters are welcome here. I run running walkers on coyotes and deer here in Arkansas. I have always wanted to try a trigg out but never have. Can't wait to here a few of your storys.

Congrats Beards-N-Spurs! Whats the story?
Engman, Great story and congrats on your birds. I wish I could get one hunt to go as smooth as yours did. I finnaly smacked a jake. I just can't get the big boys in this year or shoot them when I do...
Congrats Logger!! That is really something to take your first bird w/ a smoke pole. I am impressed. Any way you want to cook turkey it is good....
