I am a turkey hunting addict and I have been addicted since 2002. Got my best gobbler (and first gobbler) a couple years ago. He had 2 beards, one was 6.5" and the other was 10.25 inches long, both spurs were 1.625 inches long and he weighed about 27 pounds. Taxidermist says it was the best turkey he had ever seen and he has been doing taxidermy work since the mid 70's. The up-close and personal expierences that turkey hunting offers can't be found anywhere else!!
