Phil - the double beard should be
22.25 + 8.125 + 9 + 38.125 = 77.5

single beard from 4/29
22 + 12.5 + 11.25 + 20.375 = 66.125

They're not NC birds. If you must know what state I will PM you. I hate to post it in the open since it's already a hard drawn as it is. It'd be like me posting on my draw hunts in NC and then having even more people try for an already hard drawn. Understand?

I have to have the state in the team score section. It is one of the rules..
I am not sure how I have those scores messed up.. I am going back and put those figures in again.

I think what is happening you have given me the score measurements and not the ruler measurements..
I will try and figure this out.. No I can not get these.. I need the exact measurements .. Sorry but I have been trying to get what you have and it does not add up..

Well guys on Wednesday afternoon I went to some private property that I have permission to hunt ( the same property that I was only getting pics of two hens and haven't had a single pic of a turkey in the past few weeks) to get my camera. On my way out I decided to walk down a trail that was out of the way and I saw a nice gobbler track in the mud. I could see every detail in the track so I knew it was fresh. That track was the only reason I went there the next morning.
Thursday morning I get out there and I am walking down a pipeline stopping every 50ft and listening. Way off in the distance I think I hear a turkey, but I never could tell with all the background noise. I walk threw a pine thicket and I can now hear a definate gobble. By now he is on the ground and on the move, and he is only gobbling about once every five minutes. It was definitely hard to follow this turkey with him not gobbling frequently. Finally I am able to get a good idea were I think he is heading( to a known strut zone they have . used in the past years). At this point we are paralleling each other heading to the same place. He is know gobbling about once every ten minutes. I get there and I am being very patient only moving as a car passes by to minamize the noise i am making by walking through the leaves. I have not heard him gobble in a while so I blow my crow call... Nothing I blow my woodpecker call.... Nothing. A real woodpecker sounds off about a hundred yards below me and holds the note for a real long time, and the turkey shocked gobbled twice at it. He was just over the ridge and below me. I walk over call with my mouth call and he answers. I put my decoy out and sit down. Now he starts gobbling once every few minutes wanting me to come to him, I just quitely sit there calling back to him sparingly. He has not moved at all, so I pick up my slate and yelped and cutted at him, I could tell that he was getting fired up so I kept on a little more than I should have or usually do. It's a good thing he didn't mind. He gobbles again and I can tell he is on the move. He gobbled and he was heading to my left so I position that way a little. Then he went silent and I knew he was coming in at that point. Suddenly I start to hear drumming to my right. Luckily there was a big tree between us. I move slightly to my right and he gobbled, then his white head popped out from behind the tree. He walks to the left and he is right behind my decoy. He made one more step and I shot. That is the first time I have tagged out in my home state. My prayer for this season was that I would be able to accomplish that goal and I did. I thanked and am still thinking The Lord for allowing me to do that. Thank you Lord!!!!

Yes I gave you the converted measurements fromnfractions to decimals.

Way to go swampbuster! Sounds like an amazing hunt. Congrats on tagging out!

Who all is still hunting? Is anyone's season over? Is anyones season starting this weekend?

I have 2 1/2 weeks left and one tag left.

Good luck with that last tag, hope you fill it

I put in the calculated measurements as what you have.. I can not figure out what the measurements were before they were calculated
