Chasing Va Birds

“Virginia started out with a bang! Got in late last night with just enough time for a few hours of sleep. Got in tight on some birds this morning and they were fired up! Unfortunately, the hens took them away and we couldn’t get in front of them. Went to another spot and got two fired up right away and coming fast. Set up quick and within 5 minutes could hear them drumming just inside the woods. First bird came out strutting but had no beard second bird had a rope but came in cautious. Let them work out in front of us about 15 yards and they put on a hell of a show for a couple minutes. Landon Mitchell and I got lined up and absolutely smoked em! Got my first Virginia turkey and got to be behind the gun on my first true double! Blessed to meet so many amazing people and the opportunities that have come along the way…no better way to spend a cold crisp spring morning! Thanks David Scott Mitchell for having me out with you and the boys!”
