Isn't the way they score turkeys an equation that uses weight, beard, and spur length as contributing factors in an equation to determine the final score?
Yes thats my point two thirds of the equation arent determined by age. Even spurr length is somewhat misleading because you can kill a bird in Florida that has over an inch long spurrs and kill one the same age out west where the terrain is rockier and he is going to have shorter spurrs. I guess what Im saying is scoring turkeys in my opinion is kinda silly. JUST MY OPINION. I score my turkey hunts by the excitement not beard length or weight or spurr length but the pounding in my chest. I would rather kill a lonely lovesick 2 year old that gobbles alot and puts on a show than a big hook spurred bird that I have to bushwack,but I aint passing either one up.
I hear ya, I have never scored a turkey, but I know that we have killed some giants that would make some of the birds out west look like jakes! If we were smart enough to actually score one we probably would have a couple in the books. I just like to hear them gobble, I would rather take someone and call for them then hunt myself, I love to hear them talk.
OK I'm gonna take ya up on that 1 day. I'm still looking for my 1st one. It's funny but as much as I love fishing I enjoy putting other people on the fish more.
Sounds good!
