Congrats on getting a banded turkey, a rare bird indeed.

Now the question...you know there are other banded gobblers in your area. Will you hold off killing a gobbler if you see he isn't banded?
Nope. With tall grass and such I rarely see spurs or lower legs. I suppose if time and circumstance allows, I would scan the legs of a group of gobblers for a band.

Yeah I hear ya on the grass and not seeing a band. I hunted one area where they did a study (2008-2010) and was really hoping for a band. I helped several guys fill their tag in that area over the years and 4 of them shot banded birds...but not me. Mostly I just shot whatever tom I called in. A couple of times tho, I had toms in range in a sandy area and could clearly see their legs. I held off on those.

By 2015 I figured I was SOL for getting a banded tom. The youngest banded tom would have been 6 years old since they quit banding in 2010. Had 2 tags for the area that year and got 6 year old and 7 year old banded toms. I was beside myself!!!
