Turkey Federation Confirms New World-Record Bird

Turkey Federation Confirms New World-Record Bird

The National Wild Turkey Federation has proclaimed an Eastern gobbler killed in 2015 as the new record for weight, tipping the scales at a gargantuan 37.61 pounds and easily beating the previous record of 36.125. A 9¼-inch beard and roughly one-inch-long spurs brought the bird to a total score of 76.5399.

David Cody Guess shot the bird on his family farm in Lyons County, Kentucky, on April 21, 2015. It was submitted for official review and named as the new record nearly one year later.

I'm guessing just a poor photo, NWTF would have confirmed it.

Probably shoved a couple boxes of #5 lead shotgun shells up his bumm.  New meaning to stuffing the turkey!   :chuckle:
