Congrats to your buddy on the bird.  Crazy not having any spurs, have never seen it myself.

Me niether,I was on top of him when he shot him. I reached down and grabbed the bird to check his spurs cause I was sure he would have some good ones.There was nothing but bumps like a baby poult has.

Nice bird.
We have had the same issue here in Florida. My buddy and I both shot birds in the same area. Mine had almost no spurs and his bird only had 1.
I thought maybe it was from fighting, but could be something else.
