Here is my biggest gobbler so far. I got him back in April of 2005. This gobbler weighed approximately 27 pounds, had two beards (beard one is 10.25" and beard two is 6.5"), and had 1.6" spurs on both sides. I took the bird to the taxidermist and he said he had never seen a bird with that big of spurs and he had been doing taxidermy work since the mid 1970's. I shot the turkey just before the sun went down and by the time my buddy and I got to the camera, it was getting dark out, so the pics are a little dark...sorry. He is on my wall right now!

Pic #1 of the bird (sorry about the blood)



Pic #2 of the spurs (sorry about the fuzzyness)



Pic #3 of me
