New World Record Taken in North Carolina
 

New World Record Taken in North Carolina



When NWTF member Joe Fuller took a friend hunting near Pine Tops, N.C., he had no idea that he would break a record that had stood for 19 years by taking an eight-bearded bird that scored 195.5 through the NWTF’s scoring system.

And here is a link to check on the records of all the other species.

That is the nicest bird I've ever seen. 8 beards and every one of them is long! Unreal! I would fall over backwards and spend the whole day looking at that bird and then drive straight down to Cally Morris's shop.

That's the stupidest WR, 8 beards is cool, I'm sure its old, big, spurs etc...a trophy, but scoring a turkey? A turkey slam is a more impressive feat IMO.
