This is my bird from last spring.  9 1/2" beard and 1 1/4" spurs.  Took him the day before closing day.

Yup, first morning out, third day of the season. Saw birds walking down a dirt road less than 1/4 mile away. it was very early in the morning. we called and called but they kept trying to head us off. finally we sat on top of a ridge and on the other side of the ridge, behind a fence, they started to walk by. One stopped and stuck his head up just long enough. the rest is history. Probably 2 hours of hunting total. That's me on the right.
