Update:

Just got off of the phone with the lady from Penn State. My gobbler had 30 mm spurs (1 3/16") and had a little over a 10" beard when banded in February of 2007. Based on this, she said that he was probably 8 years old and is now the oldest reported bird in the banding study!!!


That is awesome!  Congratulations on a true trophy!!!

That's an old bird! Did you go back and look at any of trail camera pic to see if you had him on camera? I'll bet you've got a picture of him.

Nope, no pics of him.  I don't deer hunt or have trail cams within a couple of miles of the farm where I killed this bird.

Congrats sounds like an awesome bird. Never seen a banded turkey before.
