thats an awesome bird ......and i don't want to start any arguments
but unless indiana changed it's policy......indiana doesn't keep records on turkeys. the NWTF may consider it a record for indiana though. i saw his post about this bird on another forum during season and he was trying to get indiana to recognize it as a record.
maybe they did,i dunno . heres the link to his thread on the other forum

by the way....a friend of mine also got one almost as big
5 beards=42 inches
spurs 1 1/4 in each
weight was 23 or 24 lbs.

The states them selves do not keep records usually. in that you are correct but the NWTF does sort their records by state. so it should be the new record.

I was in another contest where Birdog was a contestant and the bird scored NWTF 148.00

Awesome

haha, I like record keeping, but turkeys? I love turkey hunting too, but I can careless about record turkeys, spurs, beards, if I ever took a turkey with 5-20" beards, or 3" spurs I'd mount it, but could care less about registering it as a world record, haha.

cool bird though!
