I don't know, I weigh fish, I use a tape measure to weigh my deer. I've weighed tens of thousands of mice. Why not weigh a bird? I think it is instructive to see that a mature tom weighs in different parts of the country.

anyway, I love the story and the photo and I wish like hell it was turkey season here. We have another 3+ weeks to go. And there will be 5" of heavy, wet snow (I keep typing snot, I wonder why?) on the ground by sunset.
