Good story Porter ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,great bird , though I'd say 3 yr old by the looks of the hooks ,,,,,,he's got a lot of color.

 Hope you and Dylan have some fine hunts and good weather .

Congrats buddy  !! That is a fine looking turkey . I have to agree with some of the other members thougfh . That is definately not a 2 year old turkey . Unless you are feeding them growth hormones , it will take at least 3 years to get hooks like that . I'm putting my money on him being a 4 yr old bird ! Great job !!!
