RE: largest turkey you have killed
 

How many of you have done this? I called up one for my best friend, his first turkey weighing 26 pounds. And one for my girlfriend, her first turkey weighing 26 pounds.I still haven't killed a 26 pounder!! One was double bearded 10" and 6", the other bird 11" and both had 1 1/4" spurs. I called one up for another friend that had 1 5/8" spurs. It'sstill fun to watch these monsters taken, and hopefully someday I will get my turn.

Well I haven't killed one with the total package yet,but my heaviest was around 19lb,My longest beard is 10 3/4",and my biggest spurs are 1 1/4".Here is a pic of the spurs.In my area the gobblers usually weigh 16-18lb at the beginning of the season,and then after they rut down at the end of the season may weigh around 14-16 lbs.It takes a toll on them..Nice osceola ma.
