Hey everyone :)
Today I got my fist longbeard while on a hunt with Quaker Boy Pro Staffer Arnie Jonathan. The bird first gobbled to an owl hoot at 5:15 am and then about a hundred times more while on the roost. After the tom flew down out of the tree (he flew over to the other side of a gully about 200 yards away), Arnie called him over and I was able to make the shot at 6:00 am.
The bird had a 9 1/2" beard, 1 1/4" spurs, and a flawless full fan which can be seen in the attached pictures.
Thanks again Arnie for a great hunt!
