James Campbell with a nice Bedford County tom
A buddy just sent me an e-mail and said he'd been checking out this blog and was sorry to see I've been "slacking off" in the turkey department. Not much I can say except, "Guilty as charged."
I will get out there eventually. Maybe by then things will have picked up some. Hunters are still killing birds, but it seems to be pretty quiet. The above-mentioned buddy said this has been his toughest opening week-plus in 10 years.
One guy who has had some luck is James Campbell, pictured here with sons Brandon and Dylan. Campbell shot this turkey on April 18 in Bedford County. It weighed 20 pounds, 2 ounces, had a 10-inch beard and 1-inch spurs. Nice bird.yards.
Thanks for putting up my bird....I don't know who did the typo...but my bird weighed 20 pounds 2 ounces...a few more pounds to brag about!
Really like your blog...thanks
--My typo, James. Sorry! That would have been a really skinny gobbler! mt
