The wife shot her 1st Longbeard the opening day of our 1st season here in Iowa. When I was cleaning it, I noticed it looked like it was trying to grow a 2nd set of spurs. I cut the legs off as I had planned on saving the spurs for her anyway. Today I finally got around to cleaning up the spurs. After I had them skinned out, the 2nd spurs are very apparent. Thought it was pretty cool and would share it.

Very cool, I killed one with a double spur last week as well. Pretty unique, more so than multiple beards I think.

Have never seen double spurs in over 500 Easterns Toms I have raised. Very cool.

Have a set of double rooster spurs that are crazy cool.

Very neat, congrats to your wife!
The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

I walked up to a guys house as a UPS driver one day and saw a fan mount and I said a nice mount and the oldler man invited me in his house to see it, he said it was one of the first double spured birds to be rergistered with the NWTF! In central Ms. I also delivered to a house that had a flying mount of a white phase gobbler, the house was small and that bird filled the whole room..

That's cool.  I've had a couple of different friends find similar things.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
