Post by: Poleaxe on May 13, 2017, 10:59:31 PM
Still a little green to scoring turkeys and a buddy insisted I had it officially scored. I put the numbers in NWTF calculator. I want to give out the numbers and see what yal come up with to confirm what I got.

Spur length 1 1/8---Left
                     1 3/16--Right

Beard
Longest 10.5
2nd  8.6875
3rd   6.375
4th   3.875

Bird weight 21.5

Thanks. I must have done it wrong. I thought it was all beards added and multiply that by 2. Spur length added multiply that by 10 and add the weight of the bird. Where did I go wrong?

If you use this you can hardly go wrong...

Enter the weight of your bird.
Pounds: 21
Ounces: 5
Enter the spur length of your bird (in decimals).
Left Spur: 1.125
Right Spur: 1.1875
Enter the beard length of your bird (in decimals).
Beard Length: 29.4375

Total Score is 103.3125

Great bird! If I may say one thing though. Please don't get caught up in what a bird scores. Some will measure up better than others but the true score is the excitement he brings to you as you work him to the gun. I have killed a lot of birds that would never "score " that high but they have etched their way into my memory forever. Nothing wrong at all with admiring a "good un". But remember any bird that raises your heart rate and makes you shake is a "good un". Congrats on a fine bird.

spurs:    1.125 + 1.1875 = 2.3125 X 10    =               23.125
Beards:  total length of all added = 29.4375 X 2 =    58.875
Weight:  21.5     =                                                  21.500
                                                      Total Score =  103.5

I ain't telling. Addition and multiplication was never my strong suit.
