You may want to check NWTF for the record weight here in NC, just saying, that's a hefty bird.

You are the 3rd person to tell me that, I might have to look into it. Only thing i just looked has to be on a certified scale for any eastern over 22lbs, so i screwed up.

I did there online scoring calculator got: Your score is 27.1875 + 20 + 20 + 20.5 = 87.6875

O well nothing i can do now so I will just enjoy this kill and hold it over my friends heads lol, you got to have friendly competitions lol.

I checked for curiosity, if so, you would make the top 3 in weight, tie for 1st in spur length. Also it would be in the top 40 overall. Nonetheless, a great bird and hunt you willnever forget.Here in NC we've got somemonster birds and don't forget... the world record Eastern too.

You'd have to send verification on that spur length too because they are over 1.5"......
