BGD post got me to thinking. What are some of the cool things you guys have killed in turkeys and pics if you got them. Probably the neatest character I have ever killed in a turkey is one with a Mohawk. It was a buddy of mine and myself first double and the only one I have been a part of since. It was 8 years ago and I didn't have the money to mount it and wish I would have. Here is a pic from back then its the one on the left



Only accurate rifles are interesting.

I've killed three smoky grey gobblers, one with no beard, one with no spursa full grown gobbler that weighed 12 1/2 pounds with a 10" beard and 1" spurs. NOT skinny, just shaw sized grin


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

3 smoky Grey's??? I've never heard of anyone else killing more than 1. Only sg gobbler I've ever seen was dead; guy in GA killed him and had been hunting him hard all season. Congrats on some rare birds.

One of the best gobblers I ever killed weighed just 14; 12.5 is really small.

I've killed several 14# or so gobblers in Monroe county hills that had good spurs 1" or better. Small frames are fairly common in those areas so not really rare for our area. I killed a jake with a 7" beard one time. One with a missing spur on one side. That's about it, not that any of those are rare, haha.

I don't know if it's rare, but I've killed a limit for a couple years of all double bearded turkeys. I've only killed one double spurred turkey.


83% of all statistics are made up.

I killed one with 6 long beards. The main beard was 11 1/4" and the shortest one was 8". I shot the top beard about half off and only one strand remains on the next to the top beard. The bottom 4 weren't touched by any shot. I have it mounted in my man cave.

Back in the 80s I saw a large wild white hen. I have hunted the same area since and have not seen another white hen since.

I seized a nice double spurred turkey killed illegally in Mo and brought back to Al. Secondary spurs were 3/4" I think, it is mounted in the USFWS office in Montgomery last I heard.

I'd say that's pretty rare

I've been turkey hunting a long time, killed first at 14-15 in early 80s, and only seen one with multiple beards. Dad took a triple beard in the late 80s.

I would say that what you have done is not only rare but amazing.
