RE: "First" bird.....and current "standards"
My first was my biggest - 22 1/4 lbs with 10 1/2" beard and 1 1/4" spurs. Have shot a couple a little over 20 since, but nothing near my first. I am, however, not that picky. I will take the first mature tom I see. If the season is getting short, I have no problem taking a jake.
