Finally got on a bird this morning. Was actually my first bird to kill, but my second to call up. I called up one for my dad last year that had an 11 3/4 inch beard and only one spur. It was an inch long. It also weighed 21 pds. My bird this morning had 4 BEARDS 
Yes 4. The main beard was 10 1/2 inches and the other 3 beards were btwn 3 to 4 inches a piece. It had 1 inch spurs and weighed 20.9 pounds. Was a wonderful hunt. He must have gobbled 60 times. Me and my buddy were calling at him together. Using different call's, a slate an a mouth call. I think that is what got him so excited. This was the first bird this year that I had a chance to work. I guess patience paid off. 
Chris you need to find us one up there next weekend in O-town if you are planning on staying for the crawfish boil. I will holler at you this week sometime.
