Title: 4-SPURS
Post by: slamman on March 15, 2012, 08:11:34 PM
here is a much better picture of the spurs on my Ocellated taken and sent to me by a biologist that is studying the Ocellated and my bird.

Bill I could look at that picture and drool all day long, you sir are a lucky man and I am glad you had a good hunt.  I hope the rest of your season goes just as well.  I am waiting to see a picture of the tAxe you found as well.. :funnyturkey:

damn I forgot all about it.  I still can't believe this bird I got without an official score from NWTF I have it scored at 70.251.  I'd rather be lucky then good :)  I just took a picture and will email it

I bet you that the other jakes and wannabe bad birds are glad that Tom is out of the pecking order.
I bet he brought the pain.
Nice kill :z-guntootsmiley:

What a set of hooks. I picked up my Osceola a month ago at BirdsOnly in Nashville and John had mounted 2 of those turkeys. I had seen pictures but the mounts were awesome. Beautiful colors and the blues on the head were different but a great looking bird. Congrats on a great hunt with a awesome set of spurs. Thanks for sharing....

Double Trophy! :icon_thumright:

I think Reloader killed an eastern last year with 4 spurs (it might have been one of his buddies)

 I have it scored at 70.251.  [/quote]

Only 70.251??? Looks to me like 2 inches or more of spurs on each leg, that alone gives you 40.
What's the weight and beard length?

Ooooops! I misread, I was thinking Osceolla not Occelated...Great bird!
