Congrats on two good birds, I've been counting down the days for Virginia's opener for weeks.

Congrats! This is 2nd day of season and I had my first hunt this morning. Had a big Tom come in alone and I aimed and then just lowered my shotgun...didn’t want season to end so soon...

Only 2 birds but they must be in different counties. I may not get down to our deer lease this turkey season because I am so busy with my dozer business so the land I own is all in 1 county...our lease encompasses 2 counties.

Haven’t even been since that 1 morning but I checked trail cams and they are really strutting it up here...

Nice birds! Congrats! That one is a stud with 1 1/2 inch spur!

We had talked about spurs on the way hunting that morning. My biggest was 1 ⅜” and I have been after 1 ½”. I’m still after it but, I want both spurs to be 1 ½” or more. Another goal is a bird over 25lb, but spurs trumps that.
