Hefty Michigan Bird Down

Unread postby Ack » Mon May 16, 2011 8:22 pm

Haven't been on the site for awhile, but I dropped a pretty good bird here in Michigan on May 6th during a mid-day hunt. Finally, after trying for a few years I was able to connect with a Bullhead. My best beard and heaviest bird to date.....11 1/4" and 26 lb 9 oz.

Story and self-filmed video will be up on the contest thread soon! 8-)

Forgot all about posting up the finished video for this hunt. I would have liked to get footage of him flogging my strutter, which I'm sure he would have, but I spent too much time making that thing to give him the chance! Enjoy! 8-)
