Yeah sorry about the confusion, I copied and pasted that from a story I wrote up for a bowhunting contest, my mistake...I knew it counted and already entered it.

The beard measurement in the picture was slightly off, I measured it more exactly when I cut the beard off, 9.75 is all I could honestly claim out of it.
Good luck to the rest of you fellas, hope you knock em dead soon.
Headin back out in the rain this afternoon to try and top that one with my second tag.
