Congrats JP.
Been chasing the "bearded one" for some 30 years now and I'm still looking for a set of leg ornaments like the ones on your bird?
Nice spurs my friend!!!

Way to go. I think we Virginian's have been missing out all these years with 1/2 day only hunting! Afternoons can be very productive.

Those aren't spurs, those are blades. Very nice bird.
Now seriously, you gotta give us more than that. How 'bout a story to go with that photo!
