Been bustin my butt all season finally got a nice one this morning. 14lbs, 8 1/2" beard and 1 1/4" spurs. Hunt time was a total of 20 minutes. My buddy shot one at 6:20 we met up at 7:00... this guy ate a load of long beards at 7:45. After working a 12 hour shift in this was a good reward. Glad I didn't go to bed instead of hunting!! What an awesome morning...

Thanks guys. The birds are pretty light here in PA because of the hard winter. This guy would normally go around 20 lbs.

My Pa. limbhanger this year weighed 20.6 pounds, had 1 1/4" spurs and a 9 3/4" beard. He certainly was'nt light by any means. I have heard of some birds being lighter than normal but he was not. Great bird congratulations.

It all depends on the feed available. This guy wasn't killed in corn country. I fed birds most of the winter in my area. They were feeding anywhere food was available often right next to  busy roads which is not normal around my place.

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.

+1 IMO the spurs are the true trophy.

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.
