"A HUNT WITH A STORY LIKE NO EVER"  ?? OUT IN A STORE NEAR YOU SOME YEAR. It is all about everything regarding a 5 hour hunt for the "Brill River Legend" in the Burdick Boondocks. This guy started gobbling about 7 am and met his master at 12:06 pm. He weighed 26.7 pounds, had a triple beard longest was 10.4" and the other 2 are 5' each. Both spurs were 1.3" inches long. He is one of my largest gobblers ever harvested. Thank YOU Jesus!!!!!!!!

Before you begin to score your turkey, be sure to note that all measurements are taken in 1/16-inch increments and converted to decimal form. A current NWTF member or another licensed hunter from the state where the bird was harvested must verify all measurements. A conversion chart for measurements is located at the bottom of this page.

Step 1:

Weigh your bird in pounds and ounces and convert ounces to decimal form.

Step 2:

Measure each spur. Spurs must be measured along the outside center, from the point at which the spur protrudes from the scaled leg skin to the tip of the spur. Add both spur measurements and multiply the combined length of the spurs by 10. This is the number of points you receive for the turkey's spurs.

Step 3:

Measure the beard length (a beard must be measured from the center point of the protrusion of the skin to the tip) and convert it to decimal form.

Next, multiply the beard length figure by 2; this is the number of points you receive for the beard length. If you have an atypical bird (multiple beards), measure each beard, convert them to a decimal number, then add those figures together and multiply by two. This is the number of points you receive for your turkey's beards.

Step 4:

Add together the weight, the points for spurs and points for beard(s): This is the score you receive for your turkey.

Congrats!! that is a beast for sure. We can only measure the longest beard for the contest but you said he's not an entry. WOW would be a good entry though. Hope you didn't have to walk to far with that monster, lol.
