    Most don’t have a clue what a 30# bird is. I’ve only seen one other that went over 30. 32#, 1 1-4” spurs, 11 1-2” beard. Pack out was tough.
    Congrats to the boy!

      Nice mount duckpond! I am dropping it off at the taxi tomorrow. Damn those things are expensive they are almost 3X a deer mount.

      We have to figure out the position. I think he wants it strutting cause it will look bigger but he also wants to be able to see the spurs cause they are pretty impressive also.

        The Taxi we brought it to uses freeze dried heads but they are random ones he buys.

        I found a guy that does the freeze drying for a 100 bucks. Is it worth spending that to get his specific head back or is that something you would never notice?

            Ya he said he can request bigger heads. The 21 lb bird I shot the weekend before may have had a bigger head than this one.

              The one the picture above is a FD head. My five bird mount is all replica heads as is the third one. Replicas are getting very good.

                Talk to the Taxi we are going to send the exact head to the place in MO. He knew the guy and said he is one of the best in the business.

                Looked up the NWTF records and the 30.62lb bird would be 8th registered in Iowa. Pretty cool for him, he is pretty excited about this bird.

                      FAT.

                      That's awesome.

                      I'd join and submit the paperwork to get his entered if you can. That's a cool thing to have.

                        I think all of this is cool! But also, I think, it’s an accomplishment, but of what? Luck? Surely yall didn’t target this hogmolly. Hold out and track him all season. Yall called a turkey, this dude showed up horny, and your boy kilt it.

                        Like I say, fun and good to talk about. But it’s kind of like getting a band, just luck on what shows up.

                            No offense but this is some dumb ass shit here.

                            Of all the deer I have killed only one of them I knew was there. I think it’s better that way.
