Congrats! Thats a good size bird. Were they henned up pretty bad still?

Fla Boy- not even henned up, still in family groups (jakes, gobblers & hens). Could have shot two gobblers on the second day (came into decoys as a group), but didn't want to tag out and sit around, let the other gobblers walk figuring I'd get another shot before I left but it didn't work out. Driest I have ever seen it there, it was a pleasure sneaking around the firebreaks and knot having to slog through mud & knee-high water this year.

Here in Wi the birds still tightly flocked in groups of 70 or more......and no gobbling but are strutting. Males starting to chase each other.

Updated pictures & scoring...both spurs 7/8", beard looks to be 10.5", and I'm estimating the weight at 19.5#...NWTF score of 58.

Nicky, I did get your measurements, but the weight of your bird is just an estimate. I'm not sure if you can submit the score on a bird with an estimated weight. One of the requirements is the actual weight of the bird. Make sure you weigh your bird.

Bird 2
 
Got us another one this morning. A hard earned mature bird on a morning of plenty of gobbles. An awesome morning in God's woods. Bird had a 10" beard, 1-1/8" spurs, but was a lighter bird (expected a little later in the season here) at 17 lbs 13 oz. Score of 60.3125.

Will post pictures from laptop tonight.
