Officially scored by a Florida Fish and Wildlife Biologist:

19 1/2 pounds
1 5/8 inch spurs for both
11 1/8 inch beard

Amazing animal and I hunted him for 6 hours Saturday. He had 6 hens that he bred different times during the day. Finally I caught him slipping away from the hens and call ONE time, he answered me then I took him at 52 yards after watching him strut in for over an hour!! I true bird of a lifetime for me.

Should rank around #50 for the Florida turkey all time.
