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".(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170421/3698f0a615cebf493c564c4f8538af30.jpg)

26.3 seems to be a big bird. How heavy do a wild one get?
Good job.
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.
Wow that is a big ole boy congrats on a nice bird
Wow, and congrats!
Nice pic
These turkeys just keep getting bigger and bigger. Nice bird.

Pat
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.

Nice one Dan...get the grill warmed up.
A buddy of mine shot one yesterday and we ate turkey nuggets wrapped on bacon over the grill last night. While we drank beer on the deck and ran our mouths. :innocentwhistle:
He went from the field to the cast-iron!
Corn on the Cobb baked beans and fresh turkey nuggets!🍴🔪
