I measure all my long tails and keep them. I have quite a few in a couple of vase-thingies on my gunsafe. Nerdy engineer that I am cool, I keep track of the birds I shoot and right now I am at 354 wild roosties. Only 6 go over 23", 2 go over 24". That tells ya how rare they are. Of the guys I have hunted with, I know of 2 others over 24". Longest I have seen was a 27"er at the long tail contest at Cabelas in Mitchell. And if you think about it, if the long tail contest at Cabelas in Mitchell can only get to 27".....
