Thanks, fellers.

In my hotel room in Merida trying to figure out how to get a picture from my Flickr account to here, via my phone......   But I'm old and tech-challenged. 

Hoping to be home by Monday night.

Watched a group of about 12 or so with 2 gobblers this evening trying to figure out where they were headed. Since I have to work I told my dad where I think they may be roosting so he can give them a try in the morning. I think one of the birds may be a 4 year so I told my dad to let him go and shoot the smaller one :)

Thanks, Trent !!!   But, I drove home last night (17 hours) and am a tad hung over from the drive.  Hoping to post up some pics this evening.

So the bummer about the Ocellated birds is that I TOTALLY neglected to get a picture of the scale and I really didn't have a chance to get the picture with the paper.

My bigger bird was 11 lbs 1 oz
1 7/8" spurs

That figures to 48.6 points, I believe.  But, probably no sense in even trying to enter it.  Dunno.

The smaller bird was 10 lbs 8 oz
1 3/4" spurs
