Hookspur
Button Buck
All those pictures of hooks has got me thinking hard about turkey hunting, and the upcoming spring season. I had 10 longbeards walk under my deer stand Sunday afternoon, and that didn't help, either. Has anyone on here ever shot a bird sporting "Bling?" I have been most-fortunate to do so 5 times. Totally pure and unadulterated luck, except for a double-banded tom that I saw in Delaware one year, and shot the following morning. My first were a pair of banded birds killed in Oklahoma on consecutive mornings, followed a couple of years later by another in the same place, but by far the highlight of all was an Osceola tom which also sported red wing tags and a radio pack on his back. Killing a long-spurred Swamp Gobbler is special any time it happens, but that sure added a bit of excitement to the day!!!
