Half century long turkey buddy killed this one about a mile from where I killed mine three days before I got mine. While it’s public land, he was the only hunter behind the gate on opening day. Unusually heavy for a non-agricultural swamp bird in this part of the country. Game Wardens weighed it at the gate and it was 20 lbs. He confirmed weight on his butcher's scale at home. He is the best turkey hunter I’ve known personally. We don’t hunt together, as we prefer solo, but he and another friend have shared spots and birds over the years. Gil
