I know some home raised merriams and easterns that could easily push 30"!  Turkey weight records don't mean much to me.   Beard length and number of beards and spur length are the specs in my book.

None of that record stuff does it for me. Its all about the experience and who you shared it with.

oldleclericrd, I highly agree.

Turkey scoring in general is pretty boring.  As long as i get a mature tom im happy.  beard length can be effected to much by drag, were measuring spurs to the 1/8 of an inch. I mean who cares if it has 7/8 spurs or 1".  If that guy comes in puffed up and gobbling hes making my record book.  Now of course there is the rare turkey that my buddy shot last year that had four beards, now thats sweet.  A nine incher, two sixes and a five incher, pretty impressive if you ask me.

Thanks Seatown!  The trick to bagging this gobbler was crossing the crick without getting my boots wet!

PG - Doesn't your gloves get wet crossing the creek by walking on your hands?

For you guys wanting to know which record book my state record merriams is in , its in the Washington record book .. I never registered it with the NWTF because I did not care too...all entries need to be offically scored so there is no exaggerating..... it is easy to photo shop by pushing your quary out in front of you ..
