Here a few pictures of the turkey bird that I shot on opening morning, (last Wednesday). It was a frosty morning. Only about 20 degrees. He weighed in at 19 3/4#, had a 10" beard, and the spurs were just under 1". I shot him at 25 yards with my 10ga. BPS., using #7 Nitro's.
It was over in a hurry. He was with a very vocal boss hen that didn't like me being in her domain, I guess..She came over to kick my DSD Upright Hen's butt, and drug this unfortunate boy along with. He gobbled once on the way in. It was his last..
The second bird is one that I called in for my cousin, on Saturday. He was 18/1/2#, 9 1/2" beard, and 3/4" spurs.





This is my cousins Jeff's bird.

Nice job, that almost looks like around NE Wis. area.  I hunt down by Monroe now, but
started out up near BRFalls.

You're right!! They were shot in Florence Co. Very close to the U.P. of Mi...

Way to go, tall person!  The season in MI starts next Monday!

I've got a tag, Larry, but I don't think I'll be hunting Mi. My brother is working in Ks. and I really don't want to hunt without him. Good luck to you, and let me know how you do..Mike

My momma told me chasing loose women would lead me to trouble.  Your bird's momma shoulda told him that... :TooFunny:
