23 pounds even. Third day of the Spring season ,10 am. Clinton County Pa. 2004. He was a smart one.  I worked him for nearly two hours. Fooled him by scratching in the leaves!

El Pavo Grande

24 lb. in MO about 5 years ago at 10 am.   He was an old turkey with two beards and 1 1/4 spurs.  No way of knowing sure if it was the same turkey, but I missed a gobbler the year before at that exact spot that had taken a lot of patience and a little coaxing to call in.  Regardless, I like at least telling myself that I had exactedy revenge.

The smallest adult gobbler I have killed was a 13.5 lb. gobbler here in Arkansas about 12 or 13 years ago.   He had a long, paintbrush beard and good spurs, but it was late season and he was poor from too much breeding and not enough eating.  I had hunted him a couple times the week before and ended up connecting one evening about 5:30 pm.  Earlier that week a friend and I had him at 10 steps, but he came in at a bad angle and the other side of a brush top.
