Nothing wrong with that bird.  Congratulations for getting on the board!  I will go ahead a get things set up to get you on the official score board for when you post you score.

Hard to field judge a gobbler IMO, most of the time it happens real fast.  I wouldn't have hesitated to shoot.  The one I killed last Friday weighed 16.2 lbs., I would say he had been breeding his you know what off.  Didn't have a bit of breast sponge left and nothing in his crop.

Good first bird.  Plenty of time to upgrade if it is in the cards.

Nice job Mike! Like I said if he's full fanned he's done. I'd be proud of him! Congrats!
