Outdoor writer, Travis Faulkner's son, James killed this monster this morning in Tennessee, while hunting with Spook Spann. It had 1 9/16'' spurs and double 10'' beards.

Most definitely would be a mount showing of the hooks and beard in a glass case!!!! He would be in my office since that is where I spend most of my time!

Awesome bird!!!

Think someone already chimed in....what did he weigh? With those hooks he probably was the king of the woods. Nice bird and congrats.

They killed it on Spook Spann's farm in Middle Tennessee. I'm not sure what it weighed, but I will try to find out.
