Beard was 10", had some beard rot but was still pritty thick and weighed 17#, and his chest had the hide wore off off it. And the spurs was almost none existant, about 3/4" and round tipped. I know it was a small bird, but they would not respond to calls at all, if you wasn't in their line of travel someway, it was'nt going to happen.
 
Hopefully 4th season will bring a bigger bird, wont be smoke'n this 1 till after 4th is over on May 17th. The girls are all exited to eat this 1 already.
 
nice bird, 4th season starts here In Illinois where I live on Friday.
I will be going out to see if I can bag one. its been several years since I
got one. I am looking forward to it for sure.
