Yes, although spur length is the best indication of age that tri-state study mentioned earlier shows that even spur length is very variable.

Muskie03, no offense, but spur length is measured from where it erupts from the skin up the backside, not to the back of the leg. I got a leg from one of mine with the same configuration as yours and the actual spur length is 1".

It was measured with NWTF scoring.....so... shoo fly

If it eats I can catch it, if it bleeds I can kill it.

OLD LONGSPUR

 :funnyturkey: Well it seems certain that 1 1/4 spur is a mature bird and if the area has even moderate pressure  he is certainly a fine adversary of which a hunter can be proud to have taken. :newmascot:
