Default Double Beard - Team 4 (Pics added)

20.5 lb
1 1/8" spur, 1" spur
Double Beard - 8" & 4"

Tagged him this morning at 40-45 yds with Winchester 3.5" #6. I'd post pictures, but I'm a little embarrassed. I knocked all the feathers off his chest/neck with my shot, then I tore out a bunch of his tailfeathers when I grabbed him. He was quite a flopper, and I got home with a bloody, featherless, shot up mess.

I don't know what happened, but I just pulled my shot low, and hit him in the neck/chest. Then the gun jammed (Win. 3.5" are notorious for ejection problems in the first 870 Supermags), so I had to resort to hand-to-hand combat. An ugly scene, but I got him.

65 3/4 points.
