[QUOTE="scn, post: 5066111, member: 1859"] I've had a few weighed at LBL when I checked them in, but never weighed any myself until a big Stewart Co bird. I saw him strutting with hens on up on opening morning. I had another bird located in an easier spot. I'd get whipped by that one, and then head to the other end of the lease to fool with the big bird. He was living down in a hole that wasn't a lot of fun to get into or out of. He would answer, but always had hens with him and just wouldn't leave them. I was there before daylight a couple of times, but, he always flew down with hens. Finally, on my fifth trip down into the "hole", I got him to answer about 8:30. Again, he wouldn't come. I decided to wait him out that day as it was later in the season and I figured the hens might be heading to nest mid-morning. He finally answered again around 10:30 and came on in to get shot. Packing him out up that hill he felt really heavy. So, out of curiosity, I weighed him when I got him home. He weighed over 25#s. That is a big bird for over there. [/QUOTE]
