Yes, they only count the biggest bird. Hoot has killed 3 really nice toms but only the biggest one counts and I have killed an osceola and a rio and only my osceola counts. Our youth seson opens Saturday and regular season opens the 21st. Listend this morning and heard about 25 birds on one of my spots. Went to my other spot(whre I have been getting pics of those 2 big toms) and never heard a bird.
