Congrats guys.I tagged out today,and just in time.Season ends tomorrow.I have been after this bird since opening weekend(Mar 25th)I crawled almost 260yds to get a 55yd shot.I entered him in the contest to replace my other bird.This was an old bird with a broken spur,ragged tail fan,and he had a toe cut off.The end of it was swollen,and looked like a mini-golf ball.[8D]This was an old bird I guess him to be about 5 yrs old.He looked to be going down hill.

16lb 12oz,1 3/8"..and..1" spurs...10 3/4" beard.Score 62.

Good luck to all of the rest of you that are still at it.Here are some pics to enjoy.

Me and the bird.



Spurs,and you can see the injured and swollen toe.

That toe is crazy looking!
One heck of a hook on him too! Nice work!
Great Bird.
