Well as everyone should no the yelp and I were in a comation for the biggest bird this year. The loser would have to do a fan mount for the winner. Here is my weight and lengths

I scored them...


Yelp's Merriam (measurements witnessed)  I didn't take pics.
21. 4
9.25" beard
Spurs were 3/4" not 1" like I thought!  :'(

My score 21.4  + .75(2)(10) + 9.25(2) = 54.9


Turkey Slayers Merriam

19.4 lbs
9.10 " beard
1" spurs (not sure on tape placement in photo)  looks like actually 6/8" inch to me.  :chuckle:

19.4 + 1(2)(10) + 9.10 (2) = 57.6

Wild Turkey, Walleyes, Whitetails and Wapiti..These are a few of my favorite things!!
