Me and bird

Phone with date,and bird in the background.

Spur measurement(I cut straight across instead of going around the curve of it like in the second pic.

Better spur measurement.I went on the outside curve like I am supposed to.Not much difference,but enough to remove doubt that it is indeed 1 1/2".

Beard

Went back in the bone yard after work and took a pic with paper.

Close up of date

Public land pics...

No need for them anymore..lol

Went to New York last week and had the chance to Hunt on some Fantastic Private Property with lots of Birds. The Hunting was kind of tough due to the fact that the Gobblers were in kind of a Lull. If you didn't get them right off the Roost, you had to wait until later in the Morning to get back on them. The Mature Hens were sitting on Nests and the Gobblers were Flying Down and Hanging close to the Jennys. They wouldn't let them out of their sight. We had a great time, saw lots of Birds and managed to harvest a Bird with the Thickest Brush that I have harvested to date!

Stats:

18.5#
9" Paint Brush Beard
Left Spur 1 1/16"
Right Spur 1 1/16"
