just me, but I have weighed every one I have killed.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Who cares if a turkey has some domestic blood in them? If they are born in the wild, raised in the wild, looks wild, act wild, & gobble good... I certainly dont care.
Turkeys be damned.

Who cares how much a turkey weighs?? This stems from a small handful of guys who whine about how many 20+ lb turkeys are entered into the turkey contest every season.

I weigh them, and measure their beard and spurs. I'm naturally curious Me too, it's just curiosity about the birds I'm hunting. I find it interesting when one varies significantly from others, but long spurs or beards, or heavy weights, don't make one turkey"better" than another one. I remain skeptical that there is any significant amount of tame turkey DNA in wild flocks. I've read some things written by people who should know that the first generation of a tame/wild hybrid has almost no chance of surviving in the wild. The total failure of attempts to start populations from pen raised birds with 100% wild DNA is further evidence that it's unlikely. But I could be wrong

I weigh all my turkeys. Most have weighed 17 or 18#, I did kill one about 20 years ago that weighed 22#. One of our club members killed a gobbler years ago that weighted 14 # 10 inch beard and 1&3/16 spurs. He was so dark you could hardly see his wing bars. I have looked at a lot of dead turkeys and he was the only one like that.
