Parker County 6 Bearded Turkey

One amazing story to go along with this big gobbler!

Bo Finley, the man who won the 2013 Wise County Turkey Contest, is also a man of awesome character. I couldn’t have been more happy for him to win last years contest because I got to know him a little more and learn that hunting was a big part of his life, but not just for him…

Bo Started a not for profit organization called All Things Outdoors. He takes ill or handicap kids and adults on hunts of a lifetime in North Texas. Instead of him killing that big buck or monster gobbler, he gives the opportunity to those that may never have the chance again.

Now for the 6 bearded thunder chicken… Bo took a young man named Josh Sanns from Minneslota, who has had multiple heart surgeries and was without a father on his first turkey hunt. And for it being his first turkey, he made one heck of a shot at an unbelievable Tom. They didn’t realize it had 6 beards till he started feeling around the feathers. The bird was 3 or 4 years old and should have some more length to the beards, but it looks like the growth was in a new beard. They had the NWTF come do the measuring and officially scored him at 72 12/16 with each spur 1 1/8″.
