Got my biggest in 2000. 11 1/2" Beard, 1 1/4" Spurs, and 17 Lbs. It was an exciting hunt! As him and 2 other 11", 1 1/2", came in we were hiding behind a 3" tree.

The birds down here don't get as heavy as the northern and midwestern birds. My biggest bird weighed 21# and was a double beard. The beards were 11 3/4" and 9" and his spurs were 1 3/8" long.

My biggest is last years bird. Can't remember the measurements exactly.....somethin like 24.5 lbs, 10somethin beard, 1 somethin spurs. Can't believe I can't remember that.

Hey whiskey.....thats a good looking mount. The one thats catching my eye is the one on the wall behind it. How much did that set ya back to get that done that way? Whats a mount like that even called? An old friend of mine has one done that way and I'm thinking about gettin one the same way. I think those mounted like that look just awesome
