Wish I hadn't!
I wish I hadn't checked my game-cam Sunday. I wasn't going to shoot one on my place this year. But dude on the right is making me rethink that plan. He's at least a triple beard and probably more. They look stacked pretty high just to be a triple beard.

Re: Wish I hadn't!
That's why I'm trying to convince myself he needs another year or two. Pretty safe bet he would make it too.

Well I say that, I always leave at least two gobbling mature birds on my place each year. So, maybe I wouldn’t shoot him. I can tell you for sure that I don’t have the will power to hunt him, call him in, and then let him go!

Re: Wish I hadn't!
Leave him. I'd love to see his full potential. Plus,he'll get to pass those genes along.

Re: Wish I hadn't!
Letting a deer grow old is one thing.
Maybe I’m still young and haven’t killed as many, but I just don’t see me ever being the kind to save a mature turkey from one year to the next.
I’d say go hunt him, and have fun doing it.
I do see the philosophy if you don’t have many turkeys and just want to leave some around if you have other places to hunt.

Re: Wish I hadn't!
what are the chances of you mounting him for me if I do go kill him. I know you have about a five year waiting period but I'd want to be bumped to the front of the list.ICDEDTURKES wrote: ↑April 8th, 2019, 6:59 pm Hint of arrogance, what's the chances you COULD kill him

Re: Wish I hadn't!
That's why I am going to try not to go down there. It's 72 miles and if I drive down there and him, his buddy, their cousins, nephews, fathers, sons or any adult male associates of theirs steps inside 40 QTMA is out the window. I can let a deer walk no problem. A turkey is another story, especially if he screws up and gobbles.Southern Sportsman wrote: ↑April 8th, 2019, 8:11 pm Never thought Ronnie would become a founding member of the QTMA.

72 miles... if I had closer places to hunt he would get a pass. I just want a gobbling Turkey. But, if you were to decide to hunt him I'm confident he would go out on your back.

Re: Wish I hadn't!
I ain't out there trying to manage turkeys, but if I knew one didn't have decent spurs, I wouldn't hunt him. That's why I've never run any game cameras. I love the surprise of rolling a turkey over to see what he's toting. I like spurs, so I wouldn't go after that one. That's just me.

Re: Wish I hadn't!
I'm a spur man as well. I don't get to excited about beards. But when I see a bird that is potentially toting 40 or more inches of beard I can't help myself. He gets in my brain.
