Limb hanger

Of all the things a turkey has to have to be a good one to me,, fat is not one of those things. Good bird. Good job.

What I consider the most important quality of the birds I have taken is not the length of the beard or spurs, or the weight of the bird, but instead is the experience of each hunt. The rest are just a bonus IMO.....

I expected to find light birds this year too. Winter held on for a long time and we have mostly big hills with timber. There were no heavyweights but most were of average weight. I killed a 14.5 pound bird several years ago with 1 1/4 spurs. Most others that year were heavy birds. I think some are just hyper active ridge runners that would rather chase girls than eat. I like em either way.

I've killed other light birds before but usually there breast feathers are gone from breeding some even have a big scab/callus looking thing. This guy wasn't missing a feather.

I certainly agree. Just stating most of the birds in my area that have been killed are lighter than normal due to the hard winter. I didn't think anyone was gonna take the mine is bigger than yours route.

Was'nt taking that route, but the winter here was also rougher than most and I was quite surprised to see the birds faired pretty well despite the long winter.
