A spring gobbler!

I got a Rio Grande here after many scouting trips and the second weekend of hunting him. I used the new 3.5 inch #4, which is a real mean shell. We mostly have those in Texas. Some easterns are in east Texas though.

has some pictures under turkey. He's my biggest ever, 10 13/16 inch beard and 1 3/16 inch spurs. Would that be big for you?

I got that bird's big brother on the last weekend. There's more pictures at the same place, the first 5 are from the first turkey, the second five are from the second one. They weighed in the low 20s but I don't know what, the taxidermist just guessed 23.
