hunted in a downpour today, little guy had a full fan, strutted and coarse yelped, no gobble. 12lbs 3"beard, 1/4" spurs

Congrats Mike. That's a very cool picture. I love the clouds over the trees.

Nice job Mookyj. Not the biggest bird in the team, but I would say most deserved. Way to stick it out with all the bad weather.

Thanks RPD63 for being our team captain. Lots of extra/unnecessary work this year: people who sign up and never show and others who harvest a bird and never post a score.
I appreciate all you did. With that said, I might take a year off of the contest. It is great to meet other hunters and hear there stories, and the contest is suppose to be fun. I just felt to much aggrevation and stress this year. From the no shows and not posting scores on out team; to high scoring birds with no clear pics to back them up, on the scoring thread.

Nice job Mooky!!! Congrats!

Nice one Mooky, congrats!

looks like the only way we will pull this off is if the killed birds from our missing member are posted and if one scores more than 55.3125.
Doesn't look too promising that this is going to happen... but it's been fun boys... we held our own with pretty much half a team contributing...

We did do pretty good!

Fat lady sang today... Not pretty but he was a fighting cock

19lbs 4oz, 1.25 spur (L) 0.750 Spur (R, broken), 11" beard (3 strands)

Score: 61.2500

Very nice Mike. Congratulations
