William Fester, noted Ducks Unlimited honcho in Chicago, went to turkeys.

He nominated Chicagoan Steve Osborn for the 23-pound tom with 1-inch spurs and a 10-inch bear he bagged in Carroll County second season.

Turkey of the Week, the celebration of turkey hunting in the spring, runs Wednesdays on the Sun-Times outdoors page, as warranted.

Send nominations by Facebook (Dale Bowman), Twitter (@BowmanOutside) or email (straycasts@sbcglobal.net).
