Default Double Beard - Team 4 (Pics added)

20.5 lb
1 1/8" spur, 1" spur
Double Beard - 8" & 4"

Tagged him this morning at 40-45 yds with Winchester 3.5" #6. I'd post pictures, but I'm a little embarrassed. I knocked all the feathers off his chest/neck with my shot, then I tore out a bunch of his tailfeathers when I grabbed him. He was quite a flopper, and I got home with a bloody, featherless, shot up mess.

I don't know what happened, but I just pulled my shot low, and hit him in the neck/chest. Then the gun jammed (Win. 3.5" are notorious for ejection problems in the first 870 Supermags), so I had to resort to hand-to-hand combat. An ugly scene, but I got him.

65 3/4 points.

He got the worst of it.

I gave him a Bill Goldberg Signature Series Flying Human Spear. Ray Lewis would've been proud.

Sorry Quik,

I'm just sitting here laughing... picturing you battling that bird. You should post the pics, just so we could laugh some more. It's a classic!

A bird spurred me once and I took some great photos of my bloody palm. Now, it's just a good story and memory!

Way to go, those are some nice numbers!
