Post by: Gobspur on April 23, 2015, 09:39:01 PM
My Indiana season was over pretty quick, killed this one at 9:50 am on opener.  Worked a bird off the roost but lost him to hens.  Got on this one, he gobbled twice and then came in silent after about 30 minutes.  Had to swing right and bust him, so wasn't the best shot.  He flopped a lot, as you can tell by how beat up he is.

18.5 lbs, 9.25 inch beard, 1 inch and 15/16 inch spurs.  Scored 56.405.  Not my top score for this year, so I didn't take all the pictures and stuff.  3 birds for the year....and I'm getting withdrawals all ready!

Great job on the birds you guys are taking! Looks like we are rolling them! I killed 3 last week on my trip to Nebraska and Kansas. My question is should I just post the biggest one or all of them.  Also I only got a weight pic of one of them, which is also the biggest bird. Anyway, let me know what to post and I'll post the best pics I have. Hopefully it's enough.

I just realized I messed up on the beard score. I meant to put 10 3/16 not 10 3/8. I went back and ran the numbers and that would give me a final score of 54 even. If someone could change that I would appreciate it.

Looks like 10 3/8 on your close up beard picture.  Sure you want me to change it?
