RE: Limbhangers and otherwise large turkeys
I hunt MN and WI and most of the birds we've shot have averaged about 23 lbs. Largest was 25 1/4 lbs with varying spur lengths. Beards have been steady at about 10 to 12 inches. I usually hunt late in the season (May 15th avg) so by then most birds drop in weight from what I've heard. They seem to get some bigger ones in early season but I put in for later so I can hunt every year...
