heres last years. 19+ lbs, 1-1/2 spurs, 11 inch beard, if i recall. won the local pool with it on the last day. hunted HARD for this smart ol boy, drove me nuts all season!
My '04 gobbler was a Merriams in central Montana. I was out of the truck all of 20 minutes when I had to shoot him in self defense at 1:30 in the afternoon.
I sure had an awesome opening morning last year...me and my dad both had a longbeard on the ground by 6:05. Mine was 19 lbs., 9.5" beard, 7/8" spurs...his was 21.5 lbs, 9.25" beard, 7/8" spurs. Hope to do a repeat on May 1st!
