Longbeard down = tagged out for 2013!!!

[WNY Bowhunter]

I opted to sleep in yesterday and skip the early morning hunt....  I hit the road around 8:30 looking for a potential victim to go after and found two strutters out in a field on a buddy's farm.  Got in front of them and had one of 'em flopping on the ground 15 minutes later.  Unfortunately, I was in better position to kill the subordinant bird so I went ahead and took him instead of the boss tom.  As I ran out to get my turkey the big one just stood there for a few seconds watching me before he took off.  If someone would have been with me we would have doubled up.  Mine ended up being a pretty nice bird: 21.5 lb, 10" paint brush beard and 1" spurs...
