Worse, I killed gobbler with an 10.25 inch beard, 1" spurs that live weighed 12.5 pounds.....in Greene Co. He was not skinny, just small like my wife ran him three times in the dryer like my shirts she likes....


Pretty country on Childers place - planted some trees for them last year. RE gobbler, killed one this year that had standard 10" beard and 1" spurs but everything else was small - frame, breast, tail feathers, wing feathers, head, short legs, and weighed all of about 13-14 lbs. ...it happens!


we used to have a couple of places near Oak Hill and Pineapple. all of the birds we killed were under 16 pounds, one at 13lbs15oz, 10" beard and 1" spurs.


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