This bird came in on a string. I called him from WAY across a clear cut. Probably the easiest bird I have ever killed.
Now I am paying for it. Every time since killing this bird three weeks ago has been a bust. Birds just won't cooperate. But ya gotta keep on keepin' on
Probably a two year old bird, 18-20lbs, 9"beard. 3/4" spurs.
Speaking of two year olds, mine was fascinated with this bird. Can't wait until he's old enough to take him.
