My cousin shot a gobbler with 4 measurable spurs and 3 more button spurs this morning! Ever seen anything like it?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210516/7535a4525ba07d09d96771a45a41f802.jpg)

He's getting a full body mount of it. The bird has given them the slip many times. Picture perfect as this morning was this gobbler didn't gobble a single time on the roost or on the grounnd. They were right place right time as the hens brought him past.

Man, that's super cool! Tell him congrats. I've got a buddy shot one but it's second spurs weren't quite that defined, just little nubbins.

Awesome! Glad he is getting it mounted.
I killed one that had 2 spurs each leg, wished I had that mounted many times. That was 25 years ago and haven't seen another one since.

The only double spurs I've ever seen is on a Palawan Peacock Pheasant from the Philippines.

The 2nd gobbler my hunting buddy killed years ago had double spurs. Never seen one like that since. They must be pretty rare.

I shot a double spur several years ago as well, but mine is not even close to your cuz's. Congrats with a truly unique trophy.
