Post up your birds from this year- Here's my 9 year old from Wednesday's Kansas youth opener (made a separate thread up in the circus with more pics) Single shot .410, #9 tungsten, 7 yards from a blind. His second bird, just a bit smaller than last years. 9.5" beard on this one. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/oM44M5Q.jpg)

Beautiful pic, Congrats.
No success pic for me today, called in a pair, but they hung up in thick stuff about 40 yards away. Had a blast though, they were hot. Tomorrow is another day!

Congrats to the young men! Only success I've had so far this season is drawing tags! My seasons are later this month.

4 tags, that’d be nice. We just got cut back to 1 tag from being allowed 2 in eastern Kansas. Population is way down. Thinking I can still get 2 in Missouri. It Ive never checked in on it.
Congrats on the bird.

Don’t let this post keep you all from posting your own thread on your hunts either. Wasn’t intent of it at all.

That is a Tennessee bird. Came in silently after gobbling twice ten minutes apart to locate me. RS

Great pic Cheesy. Congrats to the rest of you too. Youth season going on this weekend here, and the regular opener for most of the state is tomorrow.
