I was/am bored this morning so I decided to look up all of Indiana's NWTF records. I have to say, I was surprised by some of the entries. 30lbs is a FAT turkey!! If you want to search more than top 3 in IN, other states, or overall records go to www.nwtf.org/all_about_turkeys/turkey_records.php

FYI, an ATYPICAL turkey is a turkey with more than one beard.

Just don't know who that guy could be? ;D Here is the bird in question.

Nice mount. Is it a freeze dried head? I've gotta know what to do when I get my first bird this year lol.

Kevin Stanton, the dude with the #3 beard length is one of my hunting buddies. He killed that turkey in the western part of shelby county last year, the first season in shelby county. Pretty exciting before work hunt. ;D

I agree, I have killed two birds that would make the list for weight, one that would have made the list for longest spur, one that would have made the list for overall score, but I didn't register them with the federation.

I darn sure know they don't enter many bow kills! I think there were only 6 on record in Indiana.

I killed one last year with a crossbow. That could be a state crossbow record...

I didn't check to see if they broke it down to compound, recurve or whatever. Kill one this year and enter it and see lol! I think you need to have a CO check it out to make it legit.

Matt,

I'm going to do my best to do that again. Easier said than done though.

However record books are really not my thing. I don't blame a hutner for putting one in, but it is just not my cup of tea...

I was just kidding about "state record crossbow"..
