I purchased a digital scale 3 years ago and allthough it is not certified I have routinely checked the accuracy and it is within a couple ounces. I was positive we killed some 24-25 lb birds...Once we started weighing every bird I was amazed at how much they actually weigh. 17 longbeards in the past three years in Illinois, and Missouri, the heaviest has been 23 lbs 10 oz, and only 4 total in the 23 lb range. (all longbeards)

So some of you guys have to be damn proud of these big arsed birds!

later,
