I was able to get great video footage of an awesome hunt in middle TN! The field was full of birds to include 9 Toms. I had 3 Toms hang-up just out of range and after about a 10 min. stand-off they finally commit and came in nicely!

took off all week in ohio to hunt. monday morning i dropped a 23lb 1 1/4 in spurs, cant tell you how big the beard was bc i shot it off.. 15 yards with a 3.5in turkey load will do some damage lol.. thursday i called in a 22lb 11.5in beard and 1 1/2in spurs to my cousin that smoked him at 40 yards.. i took pics of that one just havent loaded them on photobucket yet.. all in all it was a nice week of vacation. turkey hunted in the mornings and picked mushrooms and ran dogs in the afternoons!!!

I got mine this morning!! Only get one here in Michigan.

Dont know how to score him but he was 23 pounds, 10 in beard, and 1 1/8" spurs. Solid 3 1/2 yr old bird.

[Briarhoppers]

That would be a NWTF Score of 65.5. Spurs x 10 + Beard x 2 + Weight = Total Score.
Congrats,
Pete

My buddy got this one. 5 beards he said it scored 110. Im not sure what that means cause i dont hunt them

[Briarhoppers]

That's a heck of a non-typ gobbler! I've shot one w/ 5 beards that looked just about like that a few years back... also have shot a couple w/ 2 beards. Its pretty rare to shoot a bird w/ more than one beard!
