A buddy of mine recently told me there is a new scoring system for turkeys. This involves weight, beard length, spur length etc...... I understand scoring big game animals and put every effort in managing the land I hunt for trophy whitetails. Most mature gobblers in my southern part of Missouri weigh 20 to 23lbs. If we start scoring turkeys that would mean most 3 to 4 year old birds would be "record book" quality. If any of you have heard about this I would like to hear your opinions. My two cents on this matter is that the real trophy on a turkey is located somewhere in the breast. Most of you probably could care less about this but my turkey season starts on Monday and I am itching to hunt so this is how I'm killing time waiting.
