Uncle Nicky on the board! Just go back from Georgia, birds very quiet, but managed to knock 2 down. One jake, one gobbler. Didn't have a scale to weigh him, but my best guess was in the 19-20# range. I will measure the beard & take pictures when I get time, guessing 7/8" spurs & 9 1/2" beard.

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.

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.
