Killed this bird at 7:20 this morning!
Had been on him and his 2 buddy's since sat but they always hung up.
Ended up being between them and some hens this morning and got a 20 yrs shot. 26.3 lbs 11" beard and 1 broken spur that was 1".

26.3 seems to be a big bird.  How heavy do a wild one get?
Good job.
I say what I think not think what I say.

26 pounds is a whopper!  Nice one, Dan.

Good job.

Average is about 17-18 pounds.  The world's record for heaviest turkey was killed in Kentucky in 2015 and weighed 37.6 pounds.  It was taken near the LBL on a private farm.

Thanks guys!
He's by far my heaviest I've ever seen.
I'm starting to think I'm hunting on a former nuclear site! It grows Hugh animals.
Pat I really like that pic also! I'm going to do a 8x10 and hang it in the house.
I saw that old dead tree next to were he died and thought wow!! What a great place to take a photo and capture this beautiful birds final moments and show respect to him.
