What is the biggest turkey you killed this year?

[turkeyhunter91]

I was just wondering what the biggest bird you all harvested and estemated how old he was?
Mine was 24 pounds 10 .5 ounces 11 in beard 1 9/16in spur , 1 1/2 in spur mine was probebly a 4,5or,6 year old he was big and old
My dad only got one it had 10 3/8 in beard we didnt weigh his it weighed probebly about 18 pounds and about 3/4in spurs probebly a two year old
still a great year:D

I killed a 28# bird in Indiana yesterday and thought that was big!

[jnkself]

Is that a typo? 44 pounds? I shot a 27 lb 8oz bird and that would be 12 in the state by weight if registered on KentuckyNWTF. If it truly is 44 pounds that is not only a state record but also a world record by weight! Don't get me wrong I'm not saying it's impossible. Congrats. The world record beard length is probably going to be the guy in Texas who shot one with a 22.5 inch beard.

I almost shot one that was standing looking over a woven wire fence with two strands of barb wire on top. When I realized it was a turkey, I was scared @#@#less. I was afraid to shoot it at 40 yrds with my Remington 870 and Hevi-shot, #5's. Didn't think that I had enough fire power.;)

I estimated him to weight over 50 lbs.

[turkeyhunter91]

in my post what is the biggest turkey you killed this year i wrote 44 pounds but ment 24 pounds:o I did kill one 27 pounds 7 ounces a couple of years ago.:D My brothers ex girl friends dad killed one 37 pounds last year they said it would have been a new state record but he would have had to take it to frankfort so he didnt have it officially checked in but he weighed at a sport shop so the scale should have been accurate
To bad it wasent 44 pounds:D

[ksp771]

Willie, your score is incorrect. Jarheads score on your bird is correct. You get to count the score for both beards combined.

[UKturkeyhunter]

:D 12 lbs. 13 oz. , 4.5 inch beard, 1/4 in spurs

The only bird I got this year, and without a doubt the smallest I have ever taken!

[Willie]

Am I wrong or shouldn't this turkey score 92.5. Willie this is an awsome turkey!!! Congrats!!! Jarhead.

You are correct if I was scoring it as a "non-typical".

I was scoring it as a "typical" because of the contest it was in at www.hunting-indiana.com. To level the playing field we did not allow a "non-typical" score, just typical.

92.5 does sound better than 72.5 doesn't it? ;)

Congrats to both Willie and Redfeathers.
