Posting this for one of my deer lease members, aka thearrower on TBH. We'll get his pic posting abilities fine tuned here eventually. Congrats Randall on a helluva bird!!
Harvested this Gobbler this afternoon with my Mathews Switchback XT Bow and a Rage Broadhead. The turkey had 2 beards....one over 8" long and the other over 9" long. Both beards were pretty thick for a West Texas bird. This is the first time I have even seen a turkey with 2 comparable large beards growing out separately from each other. The only ones I have seen before have had one large one and one small thin one. He also had a 1 3/4 inch spur on one side and over a 1 1/2 inch spur on the other....probably a 3 year old bird. He weighed 19.48 lbs. To say I am thrilled is an understatement!
Randall's done for the year with an 8", a 9", a 12" and now 17"s of beard all with his bow!... . We don't call him "Killa" for nothing! Looks like this bird will score right around 86-87" NWTF. It'll be officially scored tomorrow by his taxi....
beards
spurs
Randall also shot and killed a Pope and Young deer this past season we called "Sneaky 10" because of his unique ability to show up and be caught on camera at a vacant blind when others were hunting different places. He made one mistake and it cost him.......Official P&Y score 138 4/8 gross....net 130 5/8 .....
Here are those pics including his great pedestal mount with P&Y certificate framed and included in the mount....Willicke Taxidermy in San Angelo did the work
helluva season my friend..congrats to thearrower...and take it easy on my deer next year since we're now neighbors........
