19.7 pounds, 1.25 spurs, 10.75 beard. Still on the hunting trip. Will post details and pics when I get home. I think that adds up to 66 points and change. Oh and I made sure I had scale and tape measure in my pack.
That a boy, can't wait to here about the hunt an see the thunderchicken....
I was hunting property for the very first time so had to start from scratch. There is a total of 3000 acres so my buddies and I just split up the property on the map and took off in the morning. It was foggy and rainy in the SC lowlands and I didn't hear a peep from sun up until 8 AM. Heard a faint gobble off in the distance and naturally put a move on. 20 minutes later after stopping, calling, listening and moving, I had 4 longbeards come in on a string, but only 3 got away.
