    Congratulations!!
    The spurs at 1.5" each puts that bird at a 3 ro 4 yr old and a real trophy. That guy has been around a while.
    Using the NWTF scoring calculator you get this.
    Your score is 19.5625 + 15 + 15 + 21.5 = 71.0625

    And any bid over 60 points is a great trophy.

    What a way to go on your 1st ever bird!

    Thanks for the stats. I am very happy with this bird. I will be going back in a week and am looking forward to a second bird if possible.
