I've heard similar stories regarding the turkeys in Coosa Co. Not sure if I believe it or not; it could just be the normal variations in size that any species is gonna show.
One of the oldest gobblers I ever killed weighed 14 pounds, but spurs were very long and curved, and he was on public land and had a "reputation". But I also killed an old bird in Perry Co that weighed just 15, and I think he was just a normal turkey on the way down.
I haven't noticed any gobblers turning down a hen because she is from a more recent stocking, so I doubt that there really is much difference in AL turkeys, other what is just normal from one individual to the next. I could be wrong. Definitely a big difference in the leg length of those 2!
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

The bronze color phase turkeys that I've killed have always been smaller in size.
83% of all statistics are made up.

Sorry for highjacking the thread but I came across something similar. I have done most of my hunting in Henry county but killed one this year in Macon county. Seemed like his fan was a little smaller than the ones I have killed so I compared it to another one I had killed. Width of fans were 25" and 28". Couldn't really tell about the height but there was probably a 1 1/2 inch difference. Both of these birds had around 1+ inch spurs that I estimated to be going on 3 years. This might be common but I just noticed this recently!
