My son and I are blessed to live in the Missouri Ozarks with some of, if not the best, turkey hunting anywhere in the country.
My son's biggest bird yet. 30 lbs, Tripple beard 11 1/2" beard, 10 3/4"beard, 9 1/4" beard, 1 1/4" spurs My son was pretty tired from having worked all night and we hunted hard to get this awesome bird.
My 23 lb, 12" beard, 1 1/2" spurs Tom
