BTW - many of the Florida exempts that only hunt private land have no idea these birds are now required to be reported.  We had no cell service in this swamp so Larry filled out the temporary paper form to be legal on the walk out and we checked via the FWC phone app when reaching higher ground.  FWC now has a daily updated harvest report on their web site.  Nice to see them getting into the computer age.  About time.

Thanks for the resize.  What app?  I'm not thrilled with any I've used so far.

This what I used, it's free and simple. https://imageresizer.com/

Congrats to your friend Mr. Joey, look forward to seeing you holding an even bigger Tom. Did he put a tape on that hook?

Lol to the previous remark.  Took me a minute. Glad some are paying attention.

In answer to a previous question I did save the hooks.  Measure at some point.  We have taken at least 25 Osceolas with a few buddy doubles in the 17+ years we've hunted as a team.  These spurs easily rank number 2.  The thing about swamp birds is the spurs don't wear down. These are needle sharp. Don't try and grab a  Florida flopper.  Eek.
.
ADD - both measure 1 1/2"  well within the Florida Registry criteria.  Beard a 10 1/2.  Needed another 1/2 inch.  Oh well.

Thanks again for the resizing info.  Think I got it straightened out.  No more really big pictures I hope.  I corrected the one in my original post.

Congratulations on a great opening day gobbler!

That gobbler definitely has massive daggers! How long were they? He would have destroyed the funky chicken! Congrats on a mighty fine hunt.
