Nailed my first tom this afternoon at 1:49 pm. 20 yards with my 3 inch copper plated #5 reloads. Only 23 pounds. 11 1/4 inch beard. 28.5 and 26 mm spurs. I couldn't be happier! This is my second bird in two years. I had hunted turkeys for a couple of years before losing the best hunting spot in the world to coal mining. After deer hunting my new spot for a couple years I started seeing turkeys and started after them last spring getting a jake at 44 yards. Now can't wait for fall to get here!

Dang, huntinfool! Those are some daggers on that boy! Anyone know how to estimate the age of a turkey? If i could see the spurs better, i could tell you his likely age. Weight & beard length have no bearing on age. BTW--Congrats on the bird & " ONLY " 23lbs!! LOL!
