i got a gobbler this afternoon and it has got to be a record ! smallest that is  16 lbs. 11mm spurs 6 1/2 inch beard i usually get a nice bird every year but this one caught me off guard and i didn't get a good look at his beard. i was setting up within range of a dusting area,clearing a spot next to a tree and looked up at the dusting area and saw his head sticking out of the weeds at twenty five yds.  i hadn't even sat down yet ! up comes the 11-87....BOOOOOM....down goes tommy ;D i'll get pics and score up tomorrow. |

Nice looking bird. Who cares if he's a little smaller? He'll fit in the roaster better!

That is a cool little bird. I never heard of something like that in Indiana. Just a runt?

That will eat well, congrats on the gobbler. I had one like that at 30 yards in the high wind Friday morning with my bow. Had to check it's fan to make sure it wasn't a jake as it was strutting and doing what I call mini-drumming. Would have sent an arrow if it came closer, he had one hen keeping him from closing in. Bunches of two year olds my way this year, mostly what is being killed. Just figure birds like that are runts. Congrats, again!

Nice bird. Just curious what you would have done if it had no beard, since all you could have seen was the head?
