Title: odd bird
Post by: woodsrunner on May 04, 2016, 02:50:27 PM

  My son got his tom yesterday morning.

  Mature bird 19#; 9 1/2" beard; no spurs, no even a lump or a spot to show where the spurs should be.

  Odd.

First one I ever killed was like that except beard was even longer.  Not a nub of any kind on either leg.  Called one in for my buddy, his first bird, exact same thing.  I guess it's genetics?

I would certainly not call it odd but would call it disappointing.
