RE: Biggest Turkey!!
Here's mine...I shot him back on April 6, 2005. He weighed approximately 27 lbs and had 1.625" spurs on both left and right and had two beards...first beard was 10.25" and the second was 6.50". The taxidermist said it was the biggest he had ever seen and he had been doing taxy work since the mid 70s. Sorry about the one bloody pic...it is the best one that I got of the entire body...
Here is mine. He scored 99.312 and had 3 beards. Here are his measurements=

RE: Biggest Turkey!!
My best bird (single beard) scored 76 3/4 NWTF.... 23# 4oz with a 10.5" beard and matching 1 5/8" spurs. I shot that bird in 2001.
This season, I only shot one bird, but he was still pretty decent for a late season VA turkey.
I guessed the weight somewhere between 18.5 and 19#s. He had a 11.5" beard and matching 1 3/8" spurs... which gives an NWTF score of 69.25 (if you split the difference on weight and use 18.75#s).
