Wow I never imagined something like that. People must have seen that big boy before the season. I can imagine it was hunted pretty hard.
Man, I had no IDEA. When I read this thread I ask myself, "what makes a world record turkey"? So I went to NWTF and read the scoring sheet. Holy crappolla Batman, measure this divide by this, multiply by this, measure this... multiply by this, weigh the bird...convert and multiply by this. The dang bird would be spoiled by the time you finished measuring one with 8 beards. I don't think I'd ever care what a turkey scored. LOL Beard length and multiples...sure.... that's cool. Spur length.... sure...that's cool... but all that other stuff.... I don't think so. LOL
