old, dominant bird late in the season.

15 lbs with a 10" beard and 1" spurs.  I thought my scales were broke when I saw the weight.
Tried another set of scales and got the same thing.

Just wondering what the lightest bird you ever killed

I shot one here in Pa the second week of the season that weighed a whopping 15 1/2 lbs with a 10" inch beard. I thought that was kind of unusual

There is a story that goes with this bird I got. He was the dominate gobbler running with 2 other ones, a jake and a bigger bodied bird with a stubby beard. I missed this one two days before, he came in by himself.  The morning I did get him all three of them came down to me, him first, then the stubby one, and i'll tell you old stubby had a head the size of a soft ball, but I passed on him because I liked the longer beard. I hunted stubby the rest of the season but never got him.

The first birds I ever called in was a pair of jakes, got busted and rolled one of them running away.  Weighed in at a whopping 12.5 lbs.  And that was with 2 oz. of 6's adding to the total.  I was so happy to have finally called one in and killed it, I could have cared less about the weight.

I have taken two mature gobblers in the last 5 years that weighed in the 12.5 lb range.  Both from the same county in Alabama, but about 30 miles apart.  Both had really nice sets of spurs, just every thing about them was proportionally smaller.

Here is a pic of one the gobblers heads, notice how hairy looking it was, and had more feathers than normal up the back side of his head.  

The old timers claim the myth about the " Mossy Head Gobblers", this might be one of them!

Ahhhhh snap, the photo wont load!   Sorry!

8lb. 8oz hen shot with my my bow on 10-12-00 at 20yds.  Still the toughest and smartest bird I have ever killed.  Took me 45 minutes from when she first answered my call to when I finally killed her.  I had to coax her in and once she finally commited she stopped behind a dead tree and allowed me to draw my bow.  She stood there forever it seems which was probably 40 sec before she took a  few steps and I shot her heart out at 20yds.
