30" wide tail
19" height on tail

I've killed a number of birds and have had three, somewhat, goals: 25#, 12" beard and 1 1/2" spurs. I got one with 1 5/8" spurs several years ago and just achieved one of the other this year. My MO bird was 25.33#. Still waiting for the 12" beard!

I've shot two heavyweights, both in Illinois. Eastern of course.

26lbs 10.5 1 3/8

27lbs 11 1 5/8

Longest spurred bird was 1 7/8 but he was barely over 20lbs and a standard 10 inch beard

Heaviest 24 lbs 4 oz.
Longest single beard 11 1/4"

Over the years I have killed a 12.5" beard Eastern with 3/4 Spurs and weighed 20#

A 23# Rio that had a 9" beard

A 1 7/16 spurred Rio with a 9" beard and weighed 21#

A triple beard Eastern

And a 17# Jake.

Somewhere in all that there's around another 100 birds.  Some where really good as far as trophies are concerned but all of them created memories.  Some are more vague but memories none the less.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
