I was fortunate enough to have Just harvested a tom with multiple spurs on each leg. How should I measure the spurs? I'm assuming just measure each one and add up the totals but I wanted to run this by one of you who might know better. Thanks in advance.
Have you sent anything to the NWTF record site? I know you add the beards, but I do not remember them mentioning multiple spurs in their instructions.

I have no idea either. I'm here for the pictures. Hint hint.
Congrats on the Tom, no pictures, didn't happen.... :popcorn:
I want to see that myself.
The Palawan Peacock Pheasant has double spurs, but they're the only bird I know of that does. They're an absolutely beautiful bird. Small, but pretty.
Here it is. The other leg had a scale that looks like it wanted to be a spur, but not significant enough to measure.

Very rare in turkeys. Out of 5-6 hundred toms raised we had 1 with double spurs. Much more common in chickens.
pretty cool! congrats. add em up! NWTF has a calculator on there website and 1/16 conversion chart.
The word on the mean streets of the turkey woods is his Dad called him up for the youngster :funnyturkey:
Saw the post on Facebroke, rather neat.
Awesome. I shot one a number of years ago but not quite as nice.
Congrats on a rare one. How long was the beard?

Congrats again, thanks for picture. Killed 1 a few years back, didnt realize how rare it was, havent killed a multi bearded Tom yet so had it mounted. Since Dad wants credit for calling him in, he can help with taxi bill...
Not that I will ever get one LOL! Did anyone fine out the official way to score bird with multiple spurs? I could find nothing on internet regarding it.

I would imagine it would be like antler measurements. Wether common based or not?
