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.

28.6 pounds, 12" beard and 1 1/2" spurs in WI. Sorry couldn't find the pics. On another note, this bird had numerous wounds on his body, and I managed to get a look at the one that did it to him I'm guessing later the same day....HE WAS HUGE! haha There's always bigger ones out there.

25 lb., 10 inch beard, 1 1/4 inch spurs. I should have got a full body mount now that i think about it but the mount still turned out great non the less.

45 Lbs, 21 in beard :D

Largest, well again what do we cal the largest ? The Fatest bird Kansas Rio at 24.5 Lbs , but he only had a 8 in beard and 3/4 spurs.

Osceola that was 17 Lbs with a 11 in beard and 1 1/4 spurs

Eastern that was 19lbs with a 9in beard and 1 1/2 spurs

Never shot anything as a High scoring bird like 26,12,1 1/2 so thats my answer ...BT

My biggest scored like 73. I cant remember the exact stats but it was around 24 lbs and about an 11 inch beard. The spurs were well over an inch but I dont remember exactly. I have his stats at home.

Heaviest bird was a 23lb. 3 oz. eastern here in MO in 2002 10" beard, 7/8" and 3/4" spurs.


Longest beard was 11.5" , weighed 20 lb. even and had the best spurs as well, at 1&1/8". Probably my best all around bird. Eastern taken in MO, in '98.

A close second would be a 19 lb. 14 oz. eastern taken here in MO. He had 10.75" rope and 1" spurs in 2000.
