I guess this is where we'll post the required pictures for entry. We've always been told to post clear pictures or it may not count.
killed this bird. I can post pictures of actual measurements if necessary. another contest im in actually requires measurement pics, but its not a huge bird so its pretty realistic mesurements no real reason to doubt them. 15/16 spurs 9.75 beard 18lbs. gobbler score calculator is 56.25
Yes we'll need the detailed pics. Way to go!!
Good job brother, get those score pics posted!
updated measurement pics for my bird. I do not have a pic of the weight scale
That's a dandy. I read in the team rule thread if there isn't a pic of the bird on a scale, then it can only be counted as 14lbs. It sucks for sure but in this contest they want one on a scale. But hey your eatin fried turkey breast.
14lbs would be a jake where I live......not even a fair number. ill have another bird in 2 weeks more than likely. ill be in florida this weekend, chances are it will not be a heavy bird. may have better hooks but that's about it
Congrats. Nice bird.

So you do or don't want to record the bird? Birds can be updated with better birds as we go. Yes 14 lbs isn't fair but its what they say we have to do. New score would be 52.25 if I added it up right.
go ahead and record it that's fine. ill hopefully get a bird in florida and ill be in Nebraska in may with 3 tags so chances are ill have a bigger bird before all is said and done. go ahead and record it
Got it. You broke the ice,lol.
We kill birds here in Florida that weigh over 20lbs quite
Often .most of the public land 3yr olds I have killed go anywhere from 16-20lbs .i just killed on that when 20lbs Friday .

25-30lb merriams down in south colorado where i hunt.... I've never weighed one myself though, so I'm interested to actually see what it will weigh. One I had last year made the two hundred yard walk back to the cabin seem hard and long, and I hunt elk in public land every year in the sangre de cristos!
bird #2...this is not a contest entry, just thought id share the pic. he broke his beard flopping. it was already broken once where you could see the regrowth, and 1/2 broke at the top. 8" beard 1" spurs 16lbs....had to cancel my Osceola hunt because we had an emergency shutdown at work that will cause me to work through the weekend.
Sweet bird, looks like your the only stopping strutters right now.....my season kicks off next week, cant wait boy!
Here is my bird from Saturday. One strand of his beard hits 8 1/2 inch, one spur is 13/16 and the other is 7/8, 14 lbs. 14 oz. Score: 48.75

Got it!! Way to go. Man I'm jealous of you guys that have already started,lol.
Regrettably I don't go to Missouri anymore, otherwise I'd have a couple more cracks at increasing this score- Weight 19.5, Beard 9.5, L spur 3/4, R spur 11/16. Total score: 52.875
Got it, congrats on a great bird and a great story.
limited out fellas in my homestate. Ill upload a pic later
well I took a pic of the weight for this one. he only weighed 15.5 but even with a better weight than the weight of the first bird they score exactly the same. so I guess ill have to wait till Nebraska for a better scoring bird
limited out in Mississippi fellas. not a contest entry. it scored identical to the first one
Heck Ya, way to go buddy.

If I jacked it up I'm sorry. Trying to work, hunt, and keeping up with scores is tougher than I thought.
I can see dmason pictures on mine. Not sure what is going on.
Dmason3 I seen them on my phone. Don't know why my school computer isn't showing them but yes I see them and it's the one I got recorded. Sorry for the confusion. Your good
Nice bird! What state?!?

Congrats! Nice bird!
Got it recorded. Congrats that's a dandy for sure.
well unfortunately my merriums is not a contest entry either.....I only killed one bird in Nebraska. 2 year old. 7/8 spurs...but he had a rotted beard. only 1" long. weighed 26lbs. his beard could not be seen from his feathers. I knew when I saw no beard he probably never grew one or either it was broken or rotted. It was bad weather the 4 days I was up there. I killed this bird the second morning and I wounded a bird the final afternoon which was a good bird. made me sad but it happens. anyway. I have finished my first ever slam
