I calculated the score for Nauticstar bird with the NWTF Calculator and got:
Your score is 16.5 + 7.5 + 7.5 + 21 = 52.5
Wouldn't hurt for someone to double check on this.

Like some of my hunts for both deer and turkey, what can go wrong will.
But the bottom line is you closed the deal on a nice bird and that is all that matters!!!
Congrads!!!!!

I changed your score, I had it wrong. I guess I pushed the wrong number on something.
It is 52.5
I updated it here, team captian thread and also the Scoring thread.
I hope you have a good time on your hunts coming up!!!!

this part of va is swamped with deer and where its no baiting or sunday hunting they make up for it by extending urban archery which is fine by me b/c after i fill my buck tags in the regular season. i can take a break and come back fresh and be sharp for n.c./ va turkey spring season. i'm chomping at the bit waiting on turkey season

Congrats on the bird Nauticstar thats a fine bird!
I went out scouting yesterday and i found them i guess...
I can hunt the the field where I am taking pictures from. All those birds would have been in that field but a thunderstorm was about to roll in so they started to head back to the trees. I counted 44 strutting toms out there the majority appear to be 2 year olds there was only a handful of jakes out there strutting. There are a couple monsters out there roaming around. I also have another field that has a bunch walk through every day to go feed there are a couple giants in there. Archery season is less than 2 weeks away i cant wait.

Hey team I see we are on the board. Thats great. I will be hunting Iowa, Neb., and Missouri again this spring. I start in Iowa on the 11th of april. Cant wait. Last year I shot 7 longbeards in only 4 days of hunting( thru out the season of course). I put 7 scores on the board for the team last year out of the 9 we had registered. With this being my 32nd year hunting longbeards it just keeps getting better and better each year. I just love it!
