[TauntoHawk]

14.75 lb Jake (first bird)

smallest Tom was 18 and some change. notices an average lighter weight last year after a hard winter among the birds I saw shot. Last year all our tom's were 16-20 when most years they are 20-24 for the same age birds. Also saw a few stubby beards that had been broken off

with a warm snowless winter so far im hoping for some fatties with big ol' beards in the spring!!!

15 pounder here! Had around a 10" beard and 1 1/8" spurs. Shot him on May 12th that season. He had wore the weight off him self with it being so late in the georgia season.

A guy I hunt with shot a 9 1/2 pounder. It had a 7" beard and 3/4" spurs. We kept bugging him that it must be a lesbian very butch bird and could he please get the eggs out so we could have breakfast. Still not sure if it was a runt or a screwed up hen.

About 5 years ago a friend and I doubled on 10" toms.  His weighed 12 lbs and mine was 10.5lbs!  I thought that was really odd, but they came in gobbling like crazy, so they got shot.

[Basin_hunter]

16 l/bs 13oz  He had a 10.5 inch beard and 1 inch spurs. He was a old piney woods bird.

[Tail Feathers]

A 12 pound Osceola jake.
I dang sure wasn't going home empty handed.  Those public land Osceolas are tough birds!
