25 lbs. in Lowndes Co., Al , it seems like it was around 7:00-7:30 around an hour and a half or more after daybreak. He had been nicknamed Boxcar Barney because of his size when viewed strutting in the open.

Shot a 23 pound-er on the 29th of May in Nebraska in 2010 and 2011.  Last year, this Tom was in my 12 gauge sight 20 yards away in mid-May.  All of a sudden, the two toms with him stepped on and spooked an unsuspecting baby fawn that was hiding in the grass. It was frustrating because it took two hours of calling to get them there.  Luck changed.   The next time he came in with a jake at 6pm at night. The hen that drew them in wouldn't pay any attention to the jake, so he walked away and then the Tom came in full strut. Initially, the hen obstructed my shot but he dropped like a sack of potatoes from 56 yards with one Federal Mag Shok #4.  I don't who was more surprised, the Tom or me when i stepped off the distance a second time.  By far, the longest shot I've ever made and the biggest Eastern harvested with a 7" beard and 1'' spurs.

25.1 and 25.4   Both  harvested in 2002 on public hunting in Ky.,  both early season  before they dropped  their weight.    They weighed them for you on their scale when you checked out .

23 lbs and a few ounces. Thats actually surprising to me, because where i hunt, most two year olds are running 19 to 21 already. I know a few local guys that have taken a couple in the 24-25 range, though.
That ol' tom's already dead. He just don't know it yet .... The hard part is convincing him.

Are you REALLY working that gobbler, or is HE working YOU?

My first bird!  I was a senior in high school.  My buddy called in 3 hens and a strutting long beard accross a field.  The bird was a pig of a 2 year old.  22# without the guts, 10" beard, 3/4" spurs.  Pa bird.  Have not shot one as heavy since!
