[QUOTE="jaybird62, post: 1116865, member: 3437"] This is an old gobbler that I shot in Wayne County a couple of seasons ago. Hunted him for four days on two seperate weekends before killing him. His longest spur was 1 3/8 inches long and the other was broken down to a 1-inch nub. He weighed 23 pounds and had an 11-inch beard. My family was camping at Davey Crockett State Park during spring break. I skinned the gobbler in the camp site and had several other campers come by to watch. As much as the anti-hunters rag on us, it's surprising how many times I've dressed a wild turkey in a public area and had a crowd gather around to watch. The kids are fascinated, and I give them a feather as a keep-sake. A lot of the adults make comments about being invited for a turkey dinner. It's always been a good opportunity to tell non-hunters about the benefits of hunting, wildlife management and how hunters are responsible for bringing back several wildlife species.
