 Gould's Turkey:

We just recently mounted the new world record weighing 27 lbs, and sporting a 14 1/16" beard taken by Clyde Neeley in 2007. Their tail fan and saddle are white like the Merriam's turkey. Spur and beard length are generally smaller, but our ranch has MANY 11-12 inch beards! There is an estimated 3500 plus Turkeys at our 65,000 acre ranch.
Temperatures will be quite pleasant during the day (80,s) and upper 30,s to mid 40,s in the morning. The elevation is around 8000 feet You will be hunting 1 X 1 with your guide who will take you in the direction of the birds. They know where they roost. They have feeders set up to keep the turkeys in the area. High protein produces some 11" plus beards and larger spurs. There are many birds on the Lease with the potential of taking a record book bird. Our ranch holds 3/4 of the top 20 record book Goulds turkeys!
