Shot one this morning...doubt he was 15 lbs, no scale though, I burned more calories in the 4 days I hunted him than he will provide by a long shot!

Killed a Rio in western OK several years ago...I couldn't help but think as I pulled the trigger that he was little! Full fan, 1" spurs and 12.5 lbs. Smallest ever.

Years ago, I shot a 15lb Eastern in NY with a 12.125" beard. Go figure.

My last black hills tom was 13 pounds, he had the longest beard and spurs of all the merriam's that I've killed.
17 pounds was my lightest Wisconsin tom, only one I've ever killed here, that was under 20 pounds.

I've never been much of a "weigher" but I killed one around 2001 that I was surprised how light it was.  It weighed a shade over 17#.
