Todd1700,I'm not sure how Indiana stacks up against other states Turkeys but 20lbs. plus is what I have seen myself and my friends harvest every year.My first was an 18 lb. Jake because my goal the first season was to call in any Turkey and drop one,this guy was the biggest of 4 Jakes and got to come home with me. We averaged about 22lbs on all our birds last year with 1" to 1 1/2 hooks and 10" beards. Like I said I don't know if this is average for all Eastern Turkeys or not.
