Putting the Crappie on hold for at least the first weekend. Hope my son and I can both kill a bird......then I'll be back in the boat. Good luck to everyone yelping tomorrow.
I've got to work so I don't guess I will be doing either. Good luck to everyone whichever choice you make.
Looks like I finally made the right decision. :D

LittleJohn
Good looking bird there....
I just can't seem to let go of my spider riggin poles this time of year to chase 'em or call 'em...
I guess that leaves more birds for you guys...
That's ok...I'll sling an arrow at 'em during the deer bowhunting season next fall....
My son and I doubled up on these two birds! Was an exciting hunt. Three of them made there way to our set up......only one left, lol! After the high fiving and hugs, I realized mine had a second beard.
Both were mature toms, his had an 11" beard, mine had a 10 1'2 and a 6" Awesome being in the woods this time of year!

A big congrats Brad and your son. They are some good looking birds, too double up is something but also killed a double bearded tom is totally awesome. I've never kill a two bearded tom,still waiting.
LittleJohn
John, I'd never killed a double bearded bird either, until a couple years ago. Now it's occurring a lot more often. My son shot a nice one in the fall that had two beards.
I'm glad we got on those two when we did. Birds aren't really acting right. Not responding to calls, and there still are a lot of birds flocked up. A lot of Toms are still grouped up, I'm talking anywhere from 5 to 8 longbeards. I've witnessed this first hand and have several hunting buddies who are seeing the same thing. Kind of unusual for this time of year.
Good luck hunting, hope you bag a big one.
Got this one today. He a two year old 91/2 beard under inch spurs. He did know what a hen yelp and cut meant. He was madly in love.:D

Cograts John, I tagged out yesterday morning as well. Killed a good 2 year old with a 10" beard. Tore up some hybrids last night on Barren, now it'/s time to get the crappie hat put back on.
Congrats to Brad and John. I've not had but one afternoon to hunt. I'm going in the morning if I have to swim in. Hope the fishing turns out great for you guys. Planning on heading to KY Lake in 2 weeks for some bluegill,cracker,and crappie.
Thanks NetMan75 and Brad,congratulaions Brad on tagging out. Now I tell you one thing it just don't get any better eating,than Crappie and wild Turkey. I will be hunting WV and their season comes in Monday. Hope I can invite couple of Toms too dinner from WV,if you know what I mean.:D
LittleJohn
Congrats, Great looking birds!!! I agree some of the best meals available!
I have been out 4 times this week with no luck so far. Birds have been very quiet in my area. Only had birds gobbling 1 morning and thought I had a sealed deal when two gobblers closed the distance from 200 yards to 75 within 15 minutes cutting me off with double gobbles just to hold up. That is why they call it hunting. I can't complain to much though I did manage to bag a few birds earlier this year out of state. I will going back after them next week once this front rolls through.
Turkey season has bee great in this part of the woods. Plenty of gobbling as there are a bunch of two year olds. Got a nice one Monday. 11 inch bears and 1 1/4 spurs. Came in on a rope. Have called in 13 birds this week.
Tagged out this morning.
