Forgot to mention that the property owner where I'm hunting got a turkey yesterday with 5 beards. The main beard was about 10 inches. The others ranged from 2 to 3.5 inches.
Tom, I'm hunting a little of everything. My current blind overlooks a small food plot, a marsh and a stand of pines. This morning the birds were out in the Marsh and than headed up into the pines when the wind picked up. Rain, unless it's a dowwn pour doesn't seem to bother turkeys and they'll stay in the fields, but they don't like strong winds and tend to head for heavy cover when it gets real windy.
Your lucky you didn't damage your truck. I've seen the damage a turkey can do and it's not pretty. Like hitting a flying 20 lb bowling ball.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.
