Guess I better get in here and visit. Been very busy lately. Anyhoo, I been hunting these birds for only 12 years, and still learning! I'm from MO. and have my own ground to hunt, plus my neighbors. My best is a 22 lb with three beards, 3", 5", 10.5" and 1 1/8 spurs. I do have a 24 lber that I mounted in flight pose, that has Ivory colored spurs that are 1 1/4 inch long on both sides. If ya want to see them, let me know, I'll post pics of both of them. This year I volunteered for the Conservation Dept. youth hunt on April 3 & 4. Hope to help get some youth his or her first bird. I'm really looking forward to this year,A friend on the forum here, made me some custom box calls out of some Oak that I harvested off of my property,(I like to dable in woodworking) Let me tell ya, they sound as good as they look!!! Not to mention to try and make up for last year. Last year I was in a bad car wreck, and missed the season, except for like 2 days! DTC, I see you posted you were from MO. What part are you from? I live Grain Valley, just east of KC. Looks like you got some nice birds where you hunt, Good luck with them!!! Sounds like we got some good vets on here, I'm excited!!! and whatever you guys decide for a name, I'm fine with it!!! Good luck to ALL!!!
