Today at sunrise I struck up a couple of birds and shortly after flydown 2 birds came in. Both birds were longbeards but only one was strutting and spit an drumming. I naturally assumed this bird was dominate and shot him. Great bird, great morning. When I weighed him in at the checkstation he weighed, Now brace yourselves..........15lbs, 5oz. Other stats are 9 1/4" beard and 3/4, 7/8" spurs. Obviously this bird has not been eating for a while. This is one reason why comparing birds by weight doesn`t work
