I'm hearing it from my tenant but the story is the bird was shot at around 1:30 in the afternoon, He called it from across the street from my ranch and got the bird and three of its buddies to come from several hundred yards out it put on a show and he spanked it while it was working the decoy. I'm hearing the beard was in the 8-9 inch range with a set of spurs that were right at one inch.
