Ok guys, back from turkey camp. Had a great year. Killed 16 out of the 18 tags in camp. My bird was smaller than the ones I called in for a friend and my brother in law. That's the way it goes. Hopefully I can put a good one on the ground 4th season. I had a couple guys helping me take pictures so I didn't know how they were holding the tape but the written beard measurement is wrong. I says 9 1/4" and the beard is actually 8 1/2 ". Hope that doesn't cause problems but you can see it in the picture. Score is 54. Here they are:

that total should be 50.75

Tagged my 2nd Iowa bird. This season has been tough. Birds are henned up right away. Had a lone hen on the ground and it was still extremely dark. About 20 minutes later a gobbler flew down, then 3 more gobblers flew down about 5 minutes after that. The single gobbler came right in, waited for a short time to see if the others would come in so I could decide which one was best but this guy started moving off so I decided to take him. Not a giant but was respectable.

24 lb 8 oz, 13/16 spur, 7/8 spur 10.5 beard. Score is 62.375
