So I am up in the NE corner a got done with my first 2 hunters. Doubled up. Got it on video that come later. They didn't want to notch and second tag being it is easter weekend. They packed up and headed west. Stats. One turkey 24 lbs, only one spur at 7/8" and 8.5" beard. Second bird was 22 lbs, one spur was 1 1/4" and other was 1 1/2", double beard one was 9" and other was 6". New turkey hunter tomorrow with 2 tags and only Saturday to hunt. I will be in Loon Lake till Thursday so will have time to hunt for myself. Then pack up the trailer and head to Kettle Falls the next weekend for a mentor hunt there.
