    Like gave up, packed up, undressed, cased gun, in the truck, driving away, see ya in two years, let’s start fishing………….a big guy chooses a very poor time to cross the end of the driveway……..and let’s just say I can be real sneaky, real quick when I need to be.

    We got anywhere from 26.5-27.5lbs on the bathroom scale at home yesterday morning……..the official weight came in at 25lb 10oz at Coyote Creek in Roch this morning (Big Tom leader in the club house!).

    10″ beard on the mark. Spurs were like little grappling hooks 1 3/8″ left, 1 5/16″ right.

    For an official NWTF Score of: 25.625 + 13.75 + 13.125 + 20 = 72.5

    I know little to nothing about Turkey sizes, but I’ve been told it’s a good one!

    Jake – what a bird! You’ll hunt a long time before besting that old bird. Lots of times they’re heavy with poor beards/spurs, or vice versa, but that bird is a slob all around.

    Congrats!!!
