[QUOTE="OldFussNFeathers, post: 5056084, member: 21573"] 24lbs with a double beard. 1 being 12” and the other 11”. Both beards were a little on the thin side. Spurs I think we’re 1 7/8. Scott Co bird. Reluctant to tell the story because of what happened this day but maybe I’m just telling a tall tale. 2nd day of turkey season in 1994 sitting next to my dad after a fruitless hunt Saturday at the Big South Fork with my cousins. Dad was on these gobblers on Saturday and I tagged along on Sunday before church. Sitting beside him he said if they both came in he would take the one on the left and I would take the one on the right. Both came in on an old logging road with the left one slightly behind the right one. 1,2,3 shoot! Both turkeys hit the ground. Ran up to the gobblers and after all the flopping stopped, he said you killed both of these. I thought he was joking until he ejected 3 unshot shells. Don’t think I’ve ever have been nor ever will be that excited. In the end, what I will never forget, is after the turkeys were loaded up and we had driven down the road a bit, he said we forgot something. We both got out of the truck and hit our knees and gave thanks. You see, even before the first “hoot” of the morning, we always prayed. I guess we were both excited that morning and just forgot. The second one was 22lbs with a 10” paintbrush. [/QUOTE]
