I only hunt Oseola's. never had a chance to go out of Fla. to hunt.My largest was a 21 1/2 lbs. 10 1/2" beard.(real nice for an Oceola).a lot of 18 and 19 pounders.
on the other end. I took one along the Swannee river that was only 12 lbs. he looked a lot bigger when he came in in full strut.he had an 8 1/2" beard,he was not poor just a small bird.(I though ;I have killed a large Quail)
all his wing feathers only had the qiul for the last 4".he had done a loy of strutting and fighting.(for such a small bird)
