Holy Moly ---- where was he hunting? On the "Butter Ball Ranch"? That is on heck of a gobbler. Most we kill down this way are 18-12 pounds. I killed one last year that weiughted just over 25# and it was by far the heaviest I ever bagged. I This year I was skunked ! I cannot imagine another 12-13 pounds? Looking forward to seeing the details.

My uncle hunts in mid michigan and the last couple years he's almost hit 28. To me that's crazy. 37 Is unreal!
|
Wow! That is huge! I killed one that went 30.5 lbs once and I cant imagine 7 more lbs
|
Shot by a fellow Dead End Game Calls Pro Staffer!!!!!!
|
Just curious, what was the beard length and spur size on that bird?
|
i think it was 11 and 1 1/4

That's huge. Great job! A story on the hunt would be interesting. How far was the shot? Which calls and what shell did he use?
I know of two really big Rio Grande "wild turkeys" that lived on farms. One was shot in OR was (is still?) the world record Rio, by a young hunter with is dad. And another (39#) on a farm on Molokai, shot with a .22 in the back by a guy hiding in a tree. |
