I took my first bird yesterday morning. Shot him in NW North Carolina.

Bird Stat' s

Weight 17. 3lbs.
L. Spur 1/2"
R. Spur 1/2"
Beard 6"

Score: 39.1875

I thought he was more mature, but still happy to harvest him.

My brother-in-law, myself & landowner all went opening morning in NC. The landowner is 74 years old and had never taken a spring gobbler. We called in and videoed 3 longbeards. The landowner took a double bearded(10" & 6" ) for his first. My brother-in-law took a 10.75" bearded/1 3/8" spurred gobbler on the same set up. Made for great footage and tickled the landowner to no end.
