Shane Eastering (left) and Landon Smith (right) pictured again with 2 toms taken on team hunting adventure on March 29, 2004. Shane reports, "We went close to where we knew they were roosting, set up and called one time. Started talking and about 10 min. later I looked and there was a long beard 20yds from us. Landon asked if he could shoot it and I knew I could not get to the camera and get it on in time so I told him to shoot. He slung his gun up like Wyatt Earp and mowed him down. We knew there had been two gobblers staying together so we stayed put. Then I heard a turkey start putting so I called to him. I did not see anything so I thought it must have left. I turned around to talk to Landon and he told me don't move there he is. So I slowly put my gun in position and shot him. It was a great day and a neat double. We turned the camera on, gathered up the birds and thanked God for letting us enjoy his wonderful creation. My bird had 9-1/2 in beard with 3/4 spurs and beard rot. Landon's had severe beard rot with a 8-1/2 in beard and 1 3/16 spurs." |
