Hey guys, I'll be hunting them here in PA. I may wind up doing some guiding again this year, but I'll be sure to takeone formyself. I'll be out with the spotting scope over the coming month -with any luck I can find a good scoring bird to key in on.

Looks like there are a few other PA hunters here,and since we're one of the last to kick the season off, we'll be in good position to add some points late.

Congrats on the bird, huntnma.Those are some beautiful hooks on that guy.1.5"+ spurs arevery rare - you shouldsave those or put them on a placque or mount. I have a really goodeasternmounted at home that has someimpressive hooks - they only come once in a lifetime. Go to NWTF.org and look up theFlorida records - your bird's longest spur (1.5")will put you in the all-time record bookin a tie for about 11th place among typical turkeys, if properly scored by an official NWTF scorer - if it is indeed a true Floridian subspecies. http://www.nwtf.org/all_about_turkeys/turkey_records.php

I've followed some of you guys' past posts, and I know we have some experienced, successful hunters on this team. I'd say going in that we're one of the teams to beat in this contest.
