HECK YEAH that' s a trophy! That is one great bird for any hunter, especially a first bird!!

As for the record books, your bird scores 74 points on the NWTF scoring system. The system works like this....

Score = [weight] + [2XLength of Beard] + [10X Right Spur length + Left Spur Length]

The top eastern wild turkey scored a 104.81 and the 20th is 83.375.

To me any wild animal taken in the field is a trophy. I cherrish each hunt, animal and the memory. Congrat' s on your first bird!!!
