Title: Smoked a brute in MS!!
Post by: HoggleGobble on April 05, 2013, 05:56:21 PM
Scored 90.875. Took him to a local outdoor store and had him scored. He is on the way to the taxidermy as we speak. 1 1/2" and 1 3/8 spurs. One beard was 10 1/2" and the other 10 7/16"!!!! 20 lbs 4 oz. best bird I've ever killed spur wise ( and he has two ropes!!). It's getting turned on in MS!! The biggest feat is I took all these pics by myself with a camera stand and a timer!!!!!

I believe the proper thing to say down south is SON!

Dagger city and a couple of paint brushes.

Congrats on the bird of a lifetime!

I know, makes me sick. He broke it when he was flopping around I guess. Didn't look like a shot hit it...

Nice Bird!!  Yes things are picking up in MS... if the weather would get steady and stay that way. I found that they were actually gobbling better in the afternoons than in the cool mornings. I picked up a nice bird at 345 pm last week, and he had been sounding off for over an hour. Gotta love MS turkeys!!

Man, I don't know what it is about where you hunt, but I have NEVER seen anybody shoot as many multiple-bearded turkeys as you do. Great spurs, great bird!!!! Way to go!
