Since turkey season is upon us, let's see those big birds that keep us coming back every year.

My best to date is the one in my avatar. Can't recall the weight at the moment but I'm guessing he was around 20-21#. Maybe more, maybe less. The beard was 12" long and his Spurs were 1-1/2". He was the best to date. Not the most memorable but the best.

Look at my avatar. This web site is so hard to post pics I just want to say,"picture this". It is easy to put a pic in the avatar. I don't get it.

Sorry, I don't have a pic of my biggest. It was actually my first bird...24lbs. and 11" beard...don't remember the spurs.
My best bird was a double with my buddy. The bird itself was nothing special...weighed 20-21lbs., 10 beard, 1" spurs..but it is a pretty special memory me.

Not sure how to quantify best... Beard, spur, weight total nwtf scoring?

So I'll go with my most prized bird. This was a real treat I battled this bird a few days on and off over the season, he roosted on top a big hill deep deep in the public land timber. Giant 50ft bluff on one side and wide open on the other. I set up a few times toward the base of the hill where he should come down through on the way to some near by private farms but this bird literally stopped gobbling and vanished from the hill top every morning at fly down. Last day of the season I decide to go for broke hiked the 2miles back in plus an extra 500yds to circle around the steep bluff an extra 30min early and set up directly ontop the hill where he usually sounded off from. Ended up 35yrds from his roost tree and he landed at 18steps after a few soft clucks. Took a few minutes to notice the double spurs on both legs

My index finger measures 2" to the joint just beyond the tip of that spur. One was 1 3/4" and the other a shade shorter.
