RE: I'm finished
congrats!! nice birds!!
i took my first from public land last week. and in PA to boot...i guess MD is very comparable...that 45minute hike out with a double bearded long beard was the best hike ever. just felt great...the ultimate success. off state game lands...something like 11k acres...seems like a heck of alot more...can walk all day and not see everything there is to see..

Shot two Limb Hangers... Both of them had 10" beards... Not much to say other than
No green fields
No chuffa patchs
No food plots
Just 40,000 acres of heavily hunted public land

You seem to think there is no better adversary than a public land gobbler. Believe me, a private land gobbler can be just as hard to kill as a public land gobbler. You at times seem tolook downonall the private land hunters. Get off your high horse. If I were hunting 40,000 acres of land, I could kill a couple of "pressured gobblers" also, and I'm just a private land hunter. You could hunt on 40,000 acres of public land all season without seeing another hunter. That's a lot of land that can hold lots of turkeys.I mean no disrespect, but it sounds like in your posts, if your not hunting on public land, you aren't a real turkey hunter. I hope you don't truly believe this, because if you do, you are most definately wrong. Most private land hunters chase one or two gobblers the whole season. When they know they are being hunted, they can become extremely difficult to kill, just like a heavily pressured public bird. Congrats on your two nice longbeards. BTW, I don't hunt in green fields, chufa plots, or food plots.
