anyone scored their turkey? I don't really care about it much, but out of curiosity tonight, I scored my 1st turkey from this spring. 64.5 is what I came up with using the NWTF system. Not sure how good that is because I don't have much reference. Don't hear of birds being scored much, and I won't care much unless I kill one with 3 beards and 1.75" spurs. Antlers on the other hand, I like to score those, at least sometimes.

I have never scored a single bird, if his beard is long and plays the game than I am happy.

I'm like Ren. The only reason I score my birds is for a competition on another website. I did kill my highest scoring bird ever this year, a 102.
