I was able to take one here in North Florida this morning. I'll post the measurement pictures tomorrow.
I'm not feeling real good, think i have a bladder or kidney infection going on.

The bird was 16.44 lbs. He was actually double bearded, 9.5" and 4.5" and spurs were around 1".

Thanks for all the well wishes. I feel a little better today. Turned out to be a bladder infection. They prescribed me some antibiotics today, so hopefully they will kick in. I've got a buddy from Kentucky and his boss coming in tonight to hunt all next week.

As far has the hunt yesterday at the last minute A buddy from the club and I decided to hunt together.
Because of all the water we decided to set up on an intersection where two roads form a Tee, it's about 100 yards from a field that butts up to the club. The birds like to make their way to the field and sometimes uses the intersection when dry as a strut zone. We didn't hear anything on the roost. We took turns calling and around 8:00 one finally answered my Lonnie Sneed Hot Hen. He gobbled one more time and then went silent. About 10 minuets later he came sneaking down the road toward me. At about 60 yards he saw something he didn't like. He got nervous and walked into the pines and started working around me. My buddy did a couple of soft yelps and he came back to the edge of the pines giving me a small opening at 25 yards and I was able to make the shot.
I didn't realize he was double bearded until I got him back to the truck. My first one.

Not the most memorable hunt, but they are all good and gets the season started.
