I believe for the most part that any two year old tom is as much of a trophy as a 3 or 4 year old. however, i am more proud to kill an obviously older turkey because a turkey thats been through 3-5 hunting seasons is gonna be a whole lot harder to fool than one that' s only been through 2. A hunter that can fool and old old turkey and bag him, has more to brag about than someone who bags a nice 2 year old simply because his bird had survived that many more hunting seasons.
