DIL got it done this afternoon with a stud bird. 24lbs 11.5” & 8.75” beards, and 1.5” matching spurs! Shot in cover at all of 10yds, lol. Surprisingly she didn’t blow the head off. Yeah, it’s at the taxidermist now.

That’s a dandy.
Spurs are my gauge of a really exceptional gobbler.
Not many hit 1 1/2” plus.

That is a sho' nuff hoss. My personal best was only 20/11/1.5 and was the largest I've ever seen come off our place.

I consider weight as well. Over the years we've tallied up weights on what comes off the homeplace and the average gobbler weight is 14lbs.

Would love to post pics but since I got this new phone all my pics are too large to post. Used to get a size option when downloading, now I don’t. Anyone have a work around?

Pull the picture up on your phone, then take a screenshot of it. Screenshots are usually always small enough to post.

Well, I was able to post to another site after cropping, but now instead of telling me the file is too large the little screen just goes black.

Congratulations to her! I shot a 25# triple bearded bird that I wish I had known better to register but, oh well. He is on the wall now!
