Great collection, I see most are from the Show Me state. I have hunted Texas and Shannon counties for the past 23 years, and I have never seen and thing that you could poke your eye out with. What part of the state are your birds with the good hooks coming from?

1 1/4 for me, but never had one with a pair that long.  Always one broke off or just shorter.  Longest pair is 1 1/8

1.5" is the biggest for me.  Biggest bird I have shot had the shortest spurs.  Bird was 28.8 lbs with an extremely wide 19.5" beard.  His spurs were only 7/8" long, but both were completely rounded off, they were almost 1" wide where they came out of the leg, will try to find pics.
This is only pic I could find of bird.

1 1/4" for me but I've called up 3 that were 1.5 and wasn't the one shooting. One of those birds was a double beard with 20.5" of beards.

Unfortunately where I hunt they don't live long enough to get big spurs.     I've killed several with 1in to 1 1/4.  The best being nearly 1 3/8.

Here's some good ones from last yrs texas hunt.

1 5/16



1 1/4

That's me on the left in the photos from that morning and then the display I had done up.

23lb
10 ½" Beard
1 11/16" Right Spur
1 7/16" Left Spur

[TennLongspur]

1 1/16 is the longest I have killed.

That hook in your profile picture looks longer than that.

1 5/8" for me - but since there are no more birds in SAlabama, I do most of my hunting now in tennessee where the terrain is mountainous and rocky. They get broken off and don't tend to get as long here.

A beautiful matched set of 1 7/16" spurs on a Rio.

[derek]

1 3/8" for me.
