Congrats to your brother John.

Awesome, not too many people can say they have spring turkey hunted with that much snow on the ground. Good work.

Very exciting and a lot tougher hunting trudging through the snow. Great picture!

Yes, 20 pounds would be huge where I hunt. 17 or 18 pounds normal. 16 coming off a LONG winter!!

brother john is even in his snow camo, awesome.

I showed up in Yooper turkey camp about a decade ago. They had a few birds to clean and I jumped in to help, they peeled hard with no fat on them on a April 17 opener. I didn't even consider the weight difference. We have 16 lb jakes down here.
