First Bearded Lady(Turkey, Anyway)

(1/4) > >>

The Singing Bowyer:
Took my first bearded hen this past weekend in the Southwestern part of OK. Also, my first Rio turkey...pretty special. I shot her in the late afternoon on a bluff near where they roost. The shot was from behind and angled up and out the chest. Unfortunatley, I missed the spine and she was able to take flight and sailed into a wheat field about a half mile away. I watched her through the binos and marked the spot where she landed(never moved once she landed) Had to make a big circle to find a place to cross the river and get over to her... It was well past dark when I finally made it back to camp...

DanaM:
Congrats Chad, sounds like ya had to work for her :)

The Singing Bowyer:
Seems like I always end up working hard for the ladies...even the bearded ones!!  :D
