    Default The South Carolina Gobbler

    Not interested in all those off brand whatevers y'all chase from Mexico to Canada. Just our native bird.

    What is the absolute heaviest that a wild SC gobbler is capable of tipping the scales at? 25 pounds? 26? 30?

    Years ago it was something we did before going fishing. Pull the beard off , clip spurs and breast out then go fishing pit in a shoe box. Much has changed.

    I'm not as much of a turkey killer as most of the Elites of this forum but if I think my heaviest was 22 something.

    Kinda funny but I usually only weigh the gobblers that are in the 12-14lb range. I love those dark colored, long-spurred, swamp midgets. And, I'm convinced that they are the original SC low country turkey.
    Crops are harvested, animals are killed.

    Do you weigh them with the 28g shell and trumpet wrapped around their neck?

    Just over 24 is my biggest but I haven’t weighed everyone that I’ve killed.
