Hello, everyone!
So, on November 30 of this year, I got a turkey. Where I am at in Idaho, the season is September 15-December 31. Now, I am not going to lie, this was a HUGE tom. I am just trying to figure out if this turkey was bigger than normal or it was just average size. I saved the fan and beard for a trophy and they are being disinfected right now in Borax soap.
The beard was 9 inches long and the fan was 26 inches from feather tip to feather tip. My question is, is this normal size for a tom? I am asking because all the turkeys I shot in my life have been smaller than this, and this was the biggest one.
Well, I got one turkey tag left for this year, and when I got this one, I saw a second one the EXACT same size. I am saving this tag for a dinner with Japanese Exchange Students, though.
Anyway, please answer my question. I will post a picture when I get a chance.
Happy hunting and fishing!
