Osceola Down (Pics Added)
« on: March 12, 2011, 08:17:16 AM »
My best bird ever 21 1/2 lbs. 10 1/2 inch beard and 1 5/8 inch hooks!

If you need to find a good reasonable Osceola outfitter I can hook you up with one of the best in south Florida, PM me.

Got one link up!  That is a 3 1/2" Hevi 13 shell beside the spurs.

Want to thank Letimfly for posting the pictures that was very nice of you to take the time!

Also want to thank Timbo i.e. cccalls for making me some of the best friction calls I have used, I have killed many nice birds with his calls.  That double dealer and butternut one sider could not be pried from my hands!

Thanks for the compliments on the bird I really appreciate it.

I know there are much bigger ones but I am very proud of that one and have never posted photos of my past birds.

I have killed easterns that were heavier, with longer beards and good hooks but all around this is my best bird ever as he has decent weight and beard and better than average hooks.

Never thought of mounting a turkey but this one is getting a full mount on a pedestal.
