Great bird!!! Congrats.

We had a similar thing with the birds in this video:  http://youtu.be/wHx07t6XYvQ

After I whacked the bird on film, my buddy shot the the other bird (went out of camera frame). When we went to retrieve him, he had bigger spurs and was heavier than the bird I shot with the bigger beard. We figured beard rot.

I hunted a ranch in Nebraska one year. We saw several full fan strutters with jakelike beards. We asked the rancher about this. He said in the winters their beards drag the ground and accumulate ice. When the ice ball gets big enough, their beards snap off. I was fortunate to get one with a 10 inch beard that trip.
Congrats on your gobbler!! 23-1/2 pounds isn't a superjake!!

He trimmed it down to a soul patch.  ;)

That's funny right there... :TooFunny:

I'm going to tell everyone that I shot a 2 year old gobbler with 3/4" spurs and a soul patch! Love it

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

it's not the harvest,it's the chase
