Well, opening day of NY was good to me... shot this bird this AM. Flew down from roost and it was over in about 5 minutes.
He weighed in at 17lb 13oz, has 3/4" spurs, & an 8.5" beard. Certainly not the biggest bird, but he'll do!
Your score is 17.8125 + 7.5 + 7.5 + 17 = 49.8125

SouthernStrut, sounds like you are a busy guy right now. I got a feeling you just might try to "sneak" a hunt in while getting moved to Georgia so if you do Good Luck man we need some more turkeys for the team!!

Kenny! There ya go bud, nice bird! Did you call him in with the raspy blue one? Good work man!
This crappy season is finally over for me. I didn't get to hunt this weekend with all the clean up and everything going on up here in north alabama. I got a new job in West pt, GA, and we're moving this coming weekend. I'd like to try and hit the Georgia turkey woods before their season goes on out the 15th, but I see myself being pretty busy with other stuff for the next two or three weeks. Good luck to the rest of the team, and EFH I hope things are getting better down your way, and be careful in that mess.

Ethan, I just saw pictures of Tuscaloosa for the first time after the storms. Macfarland is flat out destroyed man. But you're right, we really have seen the best of people up this way in the past week. God bless you guys down that way too bud.
