Default What makes a "big" turkey to you guys?

I don't know where I'm really going with this, but I'm just wondering what you guys consider a HOG gobbler. What would it take for you to kill a tom, and say "thissucker is going straight to the taxidermist!"

Is it a set of monster hooks - 1.5"+ ?
Is it a multiple-bearded bird?
Would you prefer a heavy bird, not concerned so much about spurs/beard?
Or would most like to kill a bird with a huge paintbrush beard?? We're talking about a beard that looks more like a cornbroom than a turkey beard.


Myself, I like those limbhanging spurs and those older-than-dirt toms whose skin seems to have outgrown their faces, busted up wings, tailfeathers missing, etc... You can kill a lot of turkeys before you find one that has huge, razorblade hooks. Those, IMO, are the turkeys of a lifetime.
