Title: Bird 3 down
Post by: WillowRidgeCalls on May 18, 2011, 10:23:23 AM
Got lucky and got a good one this morning, should be an upgrade by a couple points. Shot him at 6:15 in the pouring rain. three long beards came in and only two went back to the six hens they were with. This bird was not the biggest bird of the three, but the big boy wouldn't separate from his buddy and my glasses started fogging up from the rain. Ya gotta take them when you can get them.   He should score good, he has spurs about 1-1/4 needle points and about a 10" beard. I'll get the score pics up when it quits pouring outside, I'm guessing he should be in the upper 60's?
