Heaviest Gobbler Thread -
This should be fun -For the Heaviest Gobbler Thread we are going to be sticklers on the scale thing , no partial pictures , get the clearest picture of your entire gobbler on a scale , if you cant make out the weight post a additional closeup picture of the reading on the dial  - be honest , there is no prizes  , just fun -

I killed 2 longbeards on sat & sun, and both weighed about 22.2 pounds, but I forgot to take a pic of both of them on the scale. Oh well.

Unofficial:  I have a crappy handheld scale, and nobody else was at home when I took the pic to hold the camera, so this is as close as it gets.  Holding this Iowa hog steady with two hands, the scale settled at 27lbs, 1oz.  Trying to hold it with one hand and take pics, it wiggled between 26lbs, 15oz and 27lbs, 5oz. 

Other stats:  11" beard and 1 1/8" spurs

9 3/4" beard

I know this wouldn't be an entry into the contest, but still wanted to share.  I work with a bunch of computer nerds and they just don't understand.

I am called the "High-Tech Redneck"  RIP George Jones  ;)
