RE: What makes a "big" turkey to you guys?
 

Weight? Ahhh, thats just fat.

Beard? Ahhh, I've seen 2 year olds have 10 1/2 inch beards.

Spurs are where its at baby. They are a better indicator of an old bird and what I consider more of a trophy.

RE: What makes a "big" turkey to you guys?
 

A trophy Bird to me is like someone had said earlier is the hunt.
I have harvested some nice bearded and spurred Tom's,But I usually mount them with a fan mount,(I do it myself)
I myself don't really care to have a full mount around the house,I gusse if you have a Trophy room it would be OK.

RE: What makes a "big" turkey to you guys?
 

My biggest had 1 5/16 and 1 4/16 spurs. It would really have to be super for it to make it on the wall! Maybe abig spured Merriam or Rio, or a beard oddity, but doubt too many more are going on the wall.[8D]
