Osceola Jake - 12 lb's

TauntoHawk

14.75 lb Jake (first bird)

smallest Tom was 18 and some change. notices an average lighter weight last year after a hard winter among the birds I saw shot. Last year all our tom's were 16-20 when most years they are 20-24 for the same age birds. Also saw a few stubby beards that had been broken off

with a warm snowless winter so far im hoping for some fatties with big ol' beards in the spring!!!

15 pounder here! Had around a 10" beard and 1 1/8" spurs. Shot him on May 12th that season. He had wore the weight off him self with it being so late in the georgia season.

A guy I hunt with shot a 9 1/2 pounder. It had a 7" beard and 3/4" spurs. We kept bugging him that it must be a lesbian very butch bird and could he please get the eggs out so we could have breakfast. Still not sure if it was a runt or a screwed up hen.

About 5 years ago a friend and I doubled on 10" toms.  His weighed 12 lbs and mine was 10.5lbs!  I thought that was really odd, but they came in gobbling like crazy, so they got shot.
If you must smoke, please use BLACKPOWDER!

In fall we rut, in spring we strut

A 12 pound Osceola jake.
I dang sure wasn't going home empty handed.  Those public land Osceolas are tough birds!
Love to hunt the King of Spring!
