Took this one last week from the swamps of Louisiana.
10 1/2 beard, 1 inch spurs and guesstimated over 20 lbs.

Never been a turkey hunter, but I got an invite and could not turn it down. My partner got this bird to come in to 55 yards and put on a good show for us. I believe he would have come a bit closer but a big gust blew over the decoy and he immediately quit showing off and was about to split. It was late in the day and we were out of time so I went ahead and took the shot.
 
Got on one today. Found this carved in a rock outcropping in a pasture in SW ND. This was about the time this area was settled. I'd sure like to know the story. Pretty cool area.
