Did you notice how many birds KATHLEEN NEAULT has on the lists? Hunting for big turkeys must be all she does the entire season.
Gathering is easy. Hunting is a challenge.

I know it's a crappy pic, but this was my biggest.  24 lb Eastern on my place in Missouri in 2001.  The last time I turkey hunted (sad).  One of these days...

I dunno the size of this gobbler but, seeing that this is the only mature tom I've ever taken so far, he's difinitely the largest. This was in '08 - my first hunt. I took a two year old last jake year.



Only a few more days to go and see what's what...

Not my biggest bird, but still a good 1.. My biggest is in an awesome case my father in law built me.. I've posted it on here before. Didn't feel like finding my cable for my camera right now to load it up. Maybe later. This birds beard was 10in. and he had nice spurs aswell.
Work sucks!!!! I should be shed hunting

fishermanjoe, my son, shot a nice 23# Merriams with 10 3/4 inch beard for his first turkey when he was 16.  Last year I got a 22# Merriams with a 9 1/2 inch beard.  I'll try to post pics....

MuleySniper killed two 12 pounders in one shot last year. Does he get a total weight of both since it was one shot?  :dunno: 

Thats why I like taking him. I never have to worry about the mature toms being shot. Now Unclebuck is different, he waits for the big ones. He just cant hit em.  :chuckle:

Oh I cant wait for another turkey slaying week!!!!! Hurry up next week already!

Yeah, I know the mature Toms don't have to worry, especially if you bring your bow along :chuckle: P.S. Uncle Buck wants to remind you about your second bird from last year ;) :chuckle:

1 bulb of fresh garlic
3 cups grated sharp cheddar
Just enough mayo to make it stick togeter
Tortilla chips
