How big is he?

I don't hunt turkeys....yet. How old and how much do you think this one weighs? He seems small to me, maybe 10-12 lbs. The length of the beard doesn't signify age or size does it? How do you judge shooters? Just be getting used to seeing them?

Really need to see his spurs to get a better feel for his age, but I would guess him around 20 or 21 pounds, 10" beard or so. Nice bird, I'de take him home with me!

Yup spurs will tell age - can ya bow up that picture at all.

Definitley a 2 year old bird or better......I'd say 20 to 25 lbs.

Very nice size.....

A blown up picture, now what do you think?

mobow · 04-01-2006, 08:21 AM

Yep, 2 y/o. Beard not as long as I first thought, about 8 inches. Still a darn nice bird.

I don't care how old he is, at this point I'd shoot him, his baby brother, his couins, etc. Seriously, hard to tell, but he's a nice bird. Did you get his picture on a trail cam or telephoto.
