Nice birds there too!  I do not know if it is camera angle or what, but that center turkey's fan look big.  Would love to have gotten that bird.

Those are much larger then the turkeys I see down here. They all look like 20 plus pounds. Never killed a bird north of Jackson, MS or Butler, AL.

Yep all in the 20lb range. The one with the bow was almost 27lb.

Thanks guys. Those Eastern birds look pretty cool. One of these days I'm going to make it somewhere to shoot one.

Not really they're more of a hybrid then a merriam. The eastern part of the state has hybrids a merriam and eastern mix.

Boomer,

Those are some beautiful birds!  I had a hunt booked in NE this spring but cancelled to hunt KY with some buddies of mine.  Hopefully, I'll get out there next spring.
