I didnt weigh him. He felt like 15 to 17lb range. 11 inch beard and 3/4 spurs. Spooky two year old that must have had his butt whipped. Worked him for two hours before he finally got in position. About a 45 yard shot.
The young man kept nerves of steel. Several times his heart sank thinking the bird was gonna slip away, but the stars lined up and he did his part. And we did it no decoys.
Whats most impressive is this young man had a tumor removed where his spinal cord met his skull. His surgeries affect his vision in one eye. I had him take some target practice with my gun Friday aftenoon and I knew he was a solid shot even with his vision issues. Im thrilled for the young man. He is a great kid.
