How to Score your Turkey
What does your turkey Score? Harvesting a wild turkey is an accomplishment in itself, but the size of the bird will never compare to the experience leading to the moment you tagged your bird. Each year PA Triple Trophy will build our records, but not all brids need an official score to be in the records. If you would like to submit your bird's score, we will add you to our records. However, you can also submit basic information without a score and still be part of the record books.
PA Triple Trophy Unlimited will follow the National Wild Turkey Federation Scoring system.
Scoring your Turkey
Step 1
Weigh your Bird:
The weight of your turkey must be in pounds and ounces and converted to the decimal form.
- Weigh your turkey to the nearest ounce.
- For records take a picture of your turkey on the scales showing the weight.
- Any Eastern Turkey weighing more than 22 pounds must be weighed on inspected and certified scales by the State Department of Aguculture. You could also check you local Grocery Store or Post Office.
Example: 18 pounds 9 ounces = 18.5625
Points for the Turkey's weight = 18.5625
Step 2
Measure the Spurs:
Measure each spur along the outside center of the spur to the nearst 1/16 of an inch and convert to the decimal form.
- Measure from the point the spur protudes from the leg to the tip.
- Add the measurements of both spurs and multiply by 10
- Take a picture of the spurs next to a scale.
Example: Rt Spur: 1 inch 3/16 = 1.1875
Lt Spur: 1inch 4/16 = 1.25
1.2500 + 1.1875 = 2.4375
2.4375 X 10 = 24.4375
Points for the Spurs = 24.4375
Step 3
Measure the Beard(s) Length:
Measure the length of the beard, or beards, to the nearest 1/16 of an inch and convert to the decimal form.
- Measure the Beard from the center point of the protruding skin to the tip.
- If your turkey has multiple beards, measure each beard and add them together.
- Multiply the total length of the beard(s) by 2.
- Take a picture of the beard next to a scale.
- For multiple beards, take a picture clearly showing the beards on the bird.
Example:
Total beard(s) = 10 inch 7/16 = 10.4375
10.4375 x 2 = 20.875
Points for the Beard(s) = 20.875
Step 4
Add your points together:
- Weight Points
- Spur Points
- Beard Points
Points for the Turkey's weight = 18.5625
Points for the Spurs = 24.4375
Points for the Beard(s) = 20.875
Points for the Beard(s) = 20.875
Your Total Score = 63.8750
