Remember the pics and vids of the gobbler last week? He's back!!!!!!! We had to go back to that house this morning to take some more photos and my ole friend Tom was waiting for me. Man I can't wait for next Spring! LOL You were right Donnie, white tips!

Anyone have a guess on the weight and spur length of this gobbler? I'm thinkin 25lbs..... check out the spurs in the first still photo...he's got some good hooks on him too!

Check THESE out!

those white tips make me think that he is not an eastern subspecies turkey....

He looks like a Standard Bronze Turkey

I would bow kill that dude and not think twice, he'll end up getting hit by a car eventually. Looks to be around 24lb with 1 1/8"-1 1/4" spurs, sounds and looks like an older bird. There were three 2 year old semi-tame gobblers like that around I-65 at Whiteland in the nursery and orchard that would let you walk up to them, they all ended up dead by vehicles or poachers. They weren't bronze though, looked all eastern.

BOILER UP!!

They appear to be 1 1/4" for sure. ? ? ? ? ?
