The gobbler’s biggest beard was 10 1/2 inches long. Its second-biggest beard measured 9 3/8 inches, and the third beard taped out at 8 1/2 inches. The trophy bird weighed 21 pounds, and sported 1 3/8-inch spurs.

Satterfield used a .410 Stevens 301 by Savage Arms, shooting Federal Premium TSS shells.
