He could have been a contender.

Dang it all anyway. I ate him before I got any pics. If memory is correct he weighed in at a whopping 13 lbs with .22 inch spurs. At least I saved the beard. Check out the paintbrush on this bruiser. I call him "Apollo Ono"

I hate it when they hide their beards under their feathers. How's a guy supposed to know? If I knew he had a beard that long, I'da let him walk!!
