Gooserbat giveaway... The Big One

[jordanz7935]

Thanks for the oppurtunity !!
05/31/09 21st birthday bird! Last day of the season! Otsego County,NY. 21.5 pounds 1&3/8 spurs 9.5" beard. I've gotten birds with longer beards and a little heavier, but overall he is the best to me. His spurs are zipper pulls on my turkey vest.
Id love to try your High Class Aluminum!!

My biggest score wise was in 2002.  Scored 156 and som change.   Six beards totaling 56" and one and 5/16 Spurs if I remember right.   Still ranks as Alabamas all time #2 and top 50 all time. 

Crystal would be my choice.

Biggest bird to date was shot the morning of Mother's Day 3 years ago. A gentleman was kind enough to let me hunt his property but I hadn't gained permission until after the season had opened. Told my wife I was going over to grab my permission slip from where he'd left it and was just going to listen to see if it was worthwhile at all. Got there about 45 minutes before daylight and soon as I got out and started walking towards the permission slip I thought I heard a bird gobble. Being it was that early figured I was hearing things. Continued on my way and then heard it again so I did the fat man shuffle back to the truck to get my gear and was going to grab the slip later. Walked into the wood line expecting the bird to be in that woodlot somewhere but had no idea of where I was at the moment. Waited for daylight under a big old oak tree and never heard him again. Had three birds gobbling across the field so I moved to the edge of the lot and got set up only 25 feet away from the oak tree I was standing under prior to. Birds pitched down in the next field over and I was waiting for them to make a move one way or the other so I could slip in from the backside to make a play. That's when it happened. A loud thunderous gobble rocked my morning and it was close. I turned my head and looked up. This bird was still in the tree that I'd stood under while waiting for daylight. I know he watched me get set up but it didn't seem to bother him much. He flew down about 70 yards away and then turned and came right back to me. Shot him at 27 steps and was home in time to fix breakfast before the wife got out of bed. Bird weighed just shy of 24 pounds, had a 12" beard and 1.5" Spurs. It's the same bird in my avatar. Best bird score wise to date and I doubt I'll get one that big for some time to come.

As for calls, I'm a glass, crystal guy. Aluminum is fine too. I don't really care to be honest. Thanks for the chance.

I haven't done a good job of keeping track, so I'm not sure what my highest scoring bird is.  I just know that my heaviest, most inches of beard, and longest spurs are three different birds.  I think my heaviest was about 27lbs.  I got a double beard once...10 3/4" and 7".  And I have a few legs with spurs just a hair over 1 5/8". 

The High Standard Crystal would be my choice.  Thanks for the giveaway!
