Scoring Birds with Multiple Sets of Spurs?
April 27, 2023, 01:13:36 PM
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.
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

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.
Luck counts, good or bad.

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.

Saw the post on Facebroke, rather neat.

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...

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