There is a little nub sticking on the butt where the tail feathers grow out off, I do not know what it is called. Find that nub and then run a tape measure from the nub to the end of the tail feather. Then add about 3/8 to 1/2 inch to the length. It is not 100% accurate but very close. Do it a few times on birds you shoot for practice, and you will be surprised how close it is.

I've never put a tape to a tail feather. I just count the bars, my best so far this year is 37 bars.

There is more than you could hunt in a lifetime, but those that sit behind a computer and bitch about having no land to hunt will never find it.

Alright you got me have been complaining about something that hurt the sportsmen around the state. Now im the bad guy just still mad about areas that are now off limits to any average person that anybody used to be able to walk free of charge. Before the e posting a person could go and walk alot of areas for game. So now we only have a few spots to walk without breaking the law. And its more about the way they are posting. The young punks that hunt like to post it for themselves and its not just there land its the trusts an all of the ground that wss open before. Also around my area some of the trust land is posted by the banks. So its b.s. shuts alot of people out of areas they had been in.
