NWTF confirms Guess has world record turkey
Posted on April 30, 2015 by newsroom
Cody Guess says it's been a hectic 24 hours since he harvested his monster 37.6 pound wild turkey yesterday in Lyon County on the family farm. The huge bird is making a run at the world record maintained by the National Wild Turkey Federation. The current record is 36 pounds and Guess's bird has been weighed on two different USDA certified scales that say it weighs 37. 6 pounds and it has been checked by other officials.
The huge gobbler has spurs that measured one and one-quarter inches in length and its beard measured in at nine and three-quarter inches.
Guess said his turkey is a pending world record and it could take a few days for the confirmation process to be completed.
Congratulations David Cody Guess. It's Official. Cody's massive wild turkey is in the books as being the world record at 36.6 lbs.
