Father in law killed one in NJ on some farmland that was 26. I got one two weeks later there that was 23.5.

The first bird I ever took was a 25.75 lb. with a 11 3/4" beard and 1 1/4" spurs! Still my best to date!

24 pound GA bird.   This property consistently produced heavy birds.  Many 20 + lbs. It was more rare to shoot one under 20 than over.

Last year I shot a 23 pound bird here in IL and the year before I shot a 24 pound bird in WI.  I'm hoping to break 25 pounds one of these days!

I've killed 2 at 25lbs in Ky. One was an a.m public land bird and the other last spring at about 4:30p.m in a hay field.
On that same property a kid killed a 25lbs bird during youth hunt, his first. A buddy killed a 27lbs gobbler 2 years ago and the owner killed a 29lbs gobbler one morning. That 29 pounder looked like a dang ostrich stretched out in the truck. Oh.. and my buddy called me two days ago and said he killed a 27 pounder on his place with his old full choke 20ga and #4's. We've got some fatty's in Kentucky.
x2 on the kentuck fatty birds ;)  my biggiest was 25.5 lbs and average between 21-24 pounds on all the birds ive harvested here. the biggest long- bearded/spurred turk ive killed was the smallest weight (21lbs) killed on public land for me. all my private land birds ive killed have been mostly 23-24 lbs

Tn: 25 lbs. And 24 lbs 6oz.  I killed 1 in Ky. That was 2 lbs. 8 oz.

I had one tip the scales at just over 25lbs. Don't remember if it was 2 or 3 oz.

Here in Illinois most of the mature birds I kill are in the 22-26 pound range.  Must be all the corn and beans they have access to.
