a huntin buddy's bro shot what could have been the new New York State record tom, this thang had a 18.5" beard, 1+ spurs and weighed close to 35 lbs, but he threw away the beard, :madd: cause he shot it and didnt think it was worth keepin ( just a meat bird, which in my neck of the woods is all that really matters),
Just wanted to throw that out there for lack of some thing better to do :shrug:
"Uncle" Jess
Sounds like one of my ignant buddies........ :laf:
It's all about the dinner fixings my friend........ :eyebrownod:
No pics either uh?
naw, no pics :shrug: the only digital cameras I know of around here belong to my ex and my sister, and my sisters is always dead :madd:
Sounds kinda fishy to me............ :wo:
Me too Joe! :wo:
:shrug: Whats so fishy about 1"+ spurs?? :laf:
What reason do I have to lie?
I am not saying that you are lying.........
It just looks fishy. Saying a freinds brother shot a state record bird and didn't keep anything except the meat. Could you buddies brother be telling the truth? Did you see it? If anyone I knew would have shot that thing they would have kept it. I am not saying it isn't true either, just that it looks suspicious. Re read what you posted and tell me that could not be taken that way.
I hope I did not offend ya, just calling it how I see it. I love to be proven wrong (which happens quite a lot :hahaha: )
yeah, I seen the bird, but we never even realized what we had till we got home and pondered it over on the nwtf website for a spell
Where are the beard and spurrs?
:confused:
One of my dear friends sent me a pic on my phone of a turkey and said "12 1/2" beard 1 1/2" spurs" I went over to his house and had tape measure in hand. Wound up being 10 1/2" x 1" Nice bird but a little exadurated only because he was excited and did not really know how to measure it.
I would imagine 18 1/2" would more than drag the ground. :confused:
I can understand the throw the beard and other parts away. I was brought up to not waste the meat. When I was sixteen I shot the biggest whitetail of m life and Dad threw the head and hide in the dump with the rest of the dead farm animals. Then in 86 I shot another fair buck [198 3/8] and was throwing it away also except that some dang fool trophy hunter seen it and said I had to measure it up. Won some trophy that coolected dust for 5 years before I threw it out. Hunting doesn't always mean bigger is better.
