How much beak meat in 06?

[Roadtripin]

Hey fellow thunder chicken killers... I just wanted to know how the turkey season went? I know some of you are still yelping and banging, but for alot of us the season is over..
I went into the season mad at turkey and wanted to kill enough to have to call Rob Keck for a re-stock program... We ended up with some great hunts.. One AL Tom had the Benelli take his beak at 3 steps overall a great year for gathering beak meat...
Just checking in for the news...
Bust em,

Mr Waddell we are having an awesome season here in PA. My father and I have both scored on one bird each and still trying for the 2nd one. My old man got 2 birds in Kansas so we will have lots of beak meat. LOL

I had a good season. Shot a 23# bird at about 15 yards, missed one at a -4 yards and then shot a 22# bird to finish things off.

Good season here. Missed a jake on the first day but killed a tom the next day which was my 15 birhtday and then killed another one the last week of the season.

From a Mike to a Mike, I got nothing yet... but still working on it, maybe this next last week will produce.

My brother got his first bird, a jake. My niece got her first bird, also a jake.

Me, I got skunked. Missed a big old bird the very first day with my bow and never had another chance at one. Was constantly having birds hang up on fences. That burns me up. They have no problem going under, over, or around a fence any other time of the year but I start calling and all of a sudden a fence becomes an impenetrable barrier.

Way to go for everyone who scored and good luck next year for everyone who didn't.

I started the season off in south Florida chasing Osceolas on public land. My buddy Covehnter managed to take a nice gobbler but I came back empty handed.

Here in Bama it was a strange season but I still managed to blast the beak off a couple. I shot one with the ole benelli at about 25 yards that literally blasted off half his bottom beak.

I just got back from Nebraska last week where I shot a nice Merriam...best spurs on a turkey for me to date.

It was a long season but I'm ready to do it all again next season.

[WHISKEYSWAMP]

I hunted hard the first two weeks of season and finally connected on the 2nd weekend... I had another tag but decided to let the rest of the gobblers go until next year.

25 lbs... 1-1/8" spurs... 10-1/4" beard.
