What is the absolute heaviest that a wild SC gobbler is capable of tipping the scales at? 25 pounds? 26? 30?
Not sure of heaviest possible but I’ve killed two at 24 in my hunting career here and was bested by my son who killed a 25lber. Neighbors had been feeding it black sunflower seeds. A full grown woods bird here in the Piedmont will run 19-20 during spring following a good mast crop, fields birds (not crop land) a couple pounds heavier. A 20lb+ woods bird is generally a hammer imo here. Deer baiting probably skews things some too.
