2024 Official Turkey Challenge

[TrueGrit]

If you don't shoot every predator you see...... especially the hawks, the turkey will go the same path as the quail.

Per Adamjen15 , the beard is 9.75”.
That would have his score @ 10.825 if everybody else agrees.

Looooong weekend. Loooong turkey season. Finally found success this evening. Thank God my boy was with me. I held off on a Tom twice this season as my boy was in school. Finally worked in our favor today.

UPDATE: adding more pics to show date and time, bird head, and my pride and joy (my boy). We were delayed in exiting our land due to a downed tree that I had to cut thru using a hand saw and by the time we made it back home, unloaded vehicle, got cleaned up and put my boy to bed it was after midnight. So I didn't get online and here until 1 AM or after.

Gonna start with the best pic first. My boy was super excited for us to get this Tom! Write up on hunt forthcoming. Sharing in our adventure together means everything.

Date and time stamp pic with our Tom. Probably shot him right about 6:30 PM on Saturday.

Turkey harvest form pics.

Spur pic.

Beard pic.

Ok for this bird I scored it as 11.375 but everybody needs to remember the two date verification pictures one can be the harvest record but the other needs to be with a piece of paper with the date, your ODT username, and the turkeys head on it. Also you have to post on the thread before 12:00 am the day it was harvested.
