Kansas bird 3 years ago had 1 1/4" on one side and 1 3/8" on the other.

I shot a gobbler north of Lake City, FL three years ago that had 1 3/4" spurs and an 11 1/2" beard.  I had him mounted gobbling on limb and he hangs in my great room and gets lots of compliments.

You fellas have bagged some really impressive birds! My best so far is an Osceola that had 1-3/8" & 1-1/4" spurs and an 11-1/4' beard. It was also my first bird back in the fall of 2002. I have been trying to beat it ever since. 
Hunt with your children today and you won't have to hunt for them tomorrow.

This morning...a 1 9/16 and 1 10/16 big Eastern...great hunt, worked him 2 hours hard and heard him at first light long way off. You know they will be special before you pull the trigger when you mess with one for that long.

Three or four with 1 3/8 spurs, one gobbler with 1 1/2 spurs (he is going to be mounted) and another with 1 7/16 spurs (both killed this year), one gobbler with 1 5/8 spurs (he is mounted), and several with 1 1/4 and 1 1/8 spurs.  I have definitely been blessed in the spurs department.  I have a friend who says the long spurs are attracted to me.  I say it is just luck, but I hope it stays that way. :)  One morning I killed two birds at Ft. Campbell and one turkey had 1 3/8 spurs and the other had 1 1/4 spurs.  I will try to round up some pics and post them later.  God Bless.

Holy crap slamman, be careful around those things. They look deadly.

I have killed a couple with 1 3/8 spurs, and probably at least a dozen with at least 1 1/8 spurs.

I've killed several with 1 3/8" or better, but a friend killed this one a few years back. He gobbled once on the roost and then came in silent. He had 2" and 1 15/16.

Looks like Tim Taylor's neighbor, Wilson.
