Since you're turning this into a pissing match...  Check out that article above of my 30lb turkey. You don't have to believe me that I've killed four birds with 1 1/2" spurs at the ripe young age of 21. But one things for certain I highly doubt you've ever killed a bird bigger than that. His hooks were one of those birds with 1 1/2" plus and had an 11 1/2 inch beard. So go ahead and shut your mouth, before you continue to make a fool of yourself in front of the whole internet.

alright guy... you win... im done... but now let me give you some advise. do not become a carpenter. you would be a very poor carpenter.

Back to your comedian routine ehh... You got some solid jokes, put as much effort into turkey hunting as you do trolling the Internet you'd probably have some quality kills. 


And reference your 1 5/8" bird again, I'll simply tell you every blind squirrel finds a nut eventually.

If the Dept of conservation had a behavioral analysis unit, I think you would make a great study.

Now ya just look like a future serial killer.

All the petty bickering aside, I've got two words for everybody,....GENETICS and SUBSPECIES.  Both play a major role in whether a guy routinely shoots birds with long spurs, long beards, or multiple beards.  If anybody wants to compare trophy characteristics of their gobblers, the only true comparison is by seeing how your birds stand up to the "average" gobbler taken from the region you hunt.

There are places where a guy can hunt his entire life and never even have the opportunity to HUNT a gobbler with 1.5 inch spurs (or whatever your magic number is), much less kill one.  Same with beard characteristics. 

And another thing, it is glaringly apparent that a very high percentage of folks do not have a clue as to how to properly measure spur length (those of you who do, please do not take offense,...I am just pointing out the obvious).  Anyone that wants to discuss spur length with me has to first show me that he knows how to properly measure them.  Far too many people don't.

And I've got two words for you, and its not genetics and subspecies.

And by the way, that's three words you goober.

...Okay, so I don't count so good....you shouldn't make fun of the mathematically challenged.  Gazintas were just being discovered back in my day...

Hunt on the Cape Fear River in central N.C. and have killed several over 1 1/4". Near end of season in 1913, I finally got one that had eluded me for some time. He weighed 19.4, had an 11 1/4 beard, and spurs of 1 5/8" and 1 9/16". Posted picture in the local paper. Think there are others of 1.5" on that river but most time when they get that big/old they hard to hunt and wiser than we give them credit.
