Yes. I thought it was a cool idea and I looked at sight and saw the price

To each their own.  I purchased the bearded buck spur gauge and use it a good bit.  Plenty of folks spend money on turkey hunting stuff here on OG that I wouldn't buy.  It's all about what it's worth to the individual.  Functionality is an individual's perception.

My lies are more believable if I don't know the real spur length.  T

I carry one of those small plastic round tape measures in my vest. Less than ounce.  I got them as a gimme at a seminar.   I carry one in my deer bag too.  We have minimum antler size restrictions here.

I agree with Meleagris, maybe I'm crazy but it seems like a good tool. A metal tape is a pain in the neck and really won't give you an accurate measurement on something so small and curved. That's why I bought a tailors tape and it is pretty good but it cost just about as much as that little spur tool

Try using a paper tape or metal measuring tape when your hands have been messed up, harder than you may think. Now try taking pictures of the spurs with a measuring tape or cloth tape for the contests we do on your own, not easy with a body and hands that work, now try having my problems, the tool makes it much easier.

The only way your gonna be able to verify if you shot a buck meeting the antler size restriction is after you shoot him. HMMMMM

  How true!  I've got a whole chest of drawers and a few shoe boxes full of stuff that I thought, at one time or another, I just couldn't live without.  Which brings up an idea:  Maybe we should have a swap section here on OG where we can trade each other some of the junk we have all bought that ended up in a drawer somewhere.   I know I have plenty to go around!

I like mine!

I've got a couple in my garage, they are called tape measures.  Guesstamation works too for the TALL tales.

On a later post in this thread, why do some people place a decoy in their kill photos?  Puzzleling?

I`m old school. I use a Washington, it`s 6 inches long and fold it in half 3inches fold again 1.5. Then on the way home from the hunt I can use it to get a cup of coffee. No guff!

I use an old cloth tape like the ones that a seamstress uses. I cut off 15" of it and keep it rolled up with my gear. It works great for measuring spurs and beards. I almost screwed myself though with the 15" length when I shot a gobbler with nearly a 14" beard!! Who knew?

Spending as much as I do on calls, shells license and everything else Turkey related buying this was a drop in the bucket.
