Road Trip Turkey

Took a short road trip and had two days to get it done. Weather was iffy and birds were taunting us. Had to get a little aggressive . Got lucky with this bird. 15.5" beard (my longest) and 1" spurs .

Actually once we got it off the bird it was a little easier to measure and ended up going right around 16 inches. Only four strands we're still intact that long.
