Default BHW & the Swamp Gobbler **PIX**

Gang,

I hunted this bird for 4 days in the famous swamp (the same swamp as the double beard bird from a few years back and last year's big buck). Today, he finally flew down within range. I blasted him at 20 yards and he flopped right into a murky stream, hence his appearance. His stats are not bad... 21.5 lbs, matching 1" spurs, and 8.75" beard (Score 59)
