A bit late on posting this, the bird was harvested last saturday (5/17). I had set up on this bird for 2 mornings with no luck. He would always hit the ground with lockjaw and some willing hens. The third morning i set up about 50 yards from him and sat in silence, no calling what so ever. When he flew down he was well within gun range.
I called the number on the band and it was from Penn State Univ. They are doing a study on longbeards in 3 states (oh, pa and ny) They told me the bird was banded last year in the same county i harvested it in.
Should have more pics this evening or tomorrow of the actual bird
