ORIGINAL: MO_Bowhnter
My second ever bird sported a 11.5 inch beard, 1.5 inch hooks and was 20 lbs. Scored 73...To get to an 80 class he needed an extra .5 inches on the beard, 1/8inch on each spur, and 4 lbs. That's asking alot. i know they are out there but that bird was a once in a lifetime bird for me already.
Mine is the same as MO_Bowhnters since we doubled the day he got his and we both took identical birds, but mine weighed 1 pound more.[8D] If we entered them they would be ranked 61st.
Anyway if you go to NWTF's website you can see all the records for each state and each category. In the 80s would only put you in the top 15, which is still really good. MOs record is 94, which is pretty unreal for a typical.
