My biggest weighed in a 25.5 lbs.It had a 12 1/4 beard along with an 1 1/2" spur on the left and 1 7/8" on the right. Crazy thing was that he only had two toes on his left foot. I have him mounted in full strut. I've killed 4 other toms over the years with 10" beards or larger.

My dad who doesn't log in much, but is on our team (trophyhunter60) has a room full of beards, spurs and fans. He's got the patience of Jobe. I once hunted with him while he worked a bird for over 2 hours with a slate call without ever changing set-ups. The bird finally gave in and he showed him a hot load of copper plated #6's. No doubt in my mind that he will have a nice bird for our team. I will be spending the opening week down at myparents, so hopefully both of us will score opening weekend.
