Two National Wild Turkey Federation members measured the tom, and the paperwork has been submitted to the NWTF. According to their measurements, the bird had an 11-inch beard, along with one spur measuring 2.1875 inches and another measuring 2.125 inches. The longer spur is a pending state record, while the other ties the current state record for spur length.

I'd let him stop flopping before I picked him up. Those could hurt a fellow.
If I'm not mistaken the gobbler was killed by an older gentleman. Congrats to him.

Cool bird and congratulations to whomever shot him. I would nickname him Edward Scissorhands.
