BIG BIRD
« on: June 01, 2009, 10:28:00 PM »
I shot a Rio Grande Turkey in Walla Walla, County opening day.
Certified weight- 23lbs-6oz
beard length - 10-10/16"
left spur - 1-6/16"
right spur - 1-8/16"
Total score is 73-6/16"

Tom came right in following a bunch of hens and I shot him at 32yds. Biggest tom I have seen or killed. Spurs are huge!!!.(daggers)

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Nice Tom Touchet2..Congrats...It is hard to break the 70 mark..are you getting him mounted?  Did you fill out state record forms yet?  If you need some let me know.  Congrats.
