See trophy room for beter photo and bearded hen
The first day was extremely tough hunting due to 35 mph winds and the 40 degree temps. We saw alot of birds but just couldn’t get them to work. The second morning looked to hold more of the same. Later in the morning we found the birds down in the thick cedars. Mikes tom decided that he liked our calls and started moving toward us, it was not very long after hearing the birds that we had him insight he worked to within about15 - 20 yrds and gave Mike a clean shot, we celebrated another better than 10 inch beard.
After taking care of the tom we headed back ouy for bird number two. We set up near a roost and just waited the birds out there was about 11 hens 4 of which had beards, and strangely enough two of them were gobbling with the tom. The birds finally worked their way across the field and Mike decided to take one of the of the bearded hens to spice up the taxidermy work. We had to work for those two birds and we put alot of miles on our legs, thanks Mike for the great day and hop to see you another day.

Here is a post from guide Scott Engstrom on our KS location
My two sons Taylor and Brayden went out on the opening morning with a little bit of a late start so we let the birds pick their way out of the field. Once the birds moved away we let them settle into a secluded pasture and we snuck in on the birds. After getting set up we only had to call for about 5 minutes before 6 different birds came running in to about 15 yards. We were hidden well in some short cedars and the birds had no idea that we were there. Taylor made a great shot and the hunt was over. It was Braydens first time to ever go turkey hunting, I am pretty sure that he is hooked now!
See you in KS, Scott
