I watch The Hunting Public on Prime Video or Netflix (I don’t remember which) and they have a contest of length of the bird from tip of beak to tip of tail laying on its back. I think it is a great idea! 
 
Actually, we have a few subspecies of turkey in this country: Eastern, Osceola, Merriam, Rio Grande and maybe another. Some are genetically bigger than the others so the contest should be separated into those sub-categories.
