Your score is 15 + 11.25 + 11.25 + 22 = 59.5
Hey Talondale,

Thanks for posting that score but there is a reason I didn't post the score myself. Those are rough stats. The guy at the check station that measured it told me that he thought the spurs were 1 3/16" but since he didn't have 1/16ths but only 1/8ths on his ruler he couldn't round it up only down to 1/8th. Even though you could see they were past the 1/8th mark. I kept the bird alltogether and I am going to re-measure it myself with my stuff when I get home. He also said if I had shot that same bird at the start of the season it would have been 3-4 pounds heavier prior to breeding for the last few weeks and not eating much. Oh well can't complain on that it is still a better bird than I ever expected to get hunting on public land by myself in Florida.

I downloaded this one pic to show the spurs.
