Pa public land bird

[Mzlhunter]

Hiked waaaaay back in on PA gamelands yesterday morning and heard nothing off the roost. Did some running and gunning and finally struck a bird at 10am. Two came in and only one left. He had a neat beard, it spiraled completely around itself, never shot one like that before. Only hunted NY on the opener and it was slow until 10am and then we  got on a few but couldnt close the deal. Hope to get back up there this week.

Nice bird, congrats! I've never seen a beard like that before, how long was it?
