There are several guys I know that TRY to kill older birds and will pass up two year olds or allow someone else to shoot if possible. That works for me! But nothing like a season with an older bird limit. If you are really want to be serious about it, a good quality shotgun scope is the ticket. Plus, you can see the gnats swarming around his head; up close and personal.

I'm a non-discriminating turkey hunter. If he's old enough to have a full roll gobble, I'll kill him. On the rare occasion I have a jake come in with a full gobble, I'll give him a pass.

Man some of you bama boys must be awesome. Never seen a forum with so many members that could age birds on the foot. Lol just kidding. Ok now the sarcasm is out of the way heres a tip for some guys that may accidentally click on this thread. YOU CAN NOT TELL IF A BIRD IS 3 YEARS OLD OR 9 YEARS OLD EVEN WITH HIM IN YOUR HAND. Past 3 it's a crap shoot. There's been banded birds killed with 1 1/8" spurs that were over 8 years old. Genetics, subspecies, terrain, ect all play a role. Yes that limbhanger you killed with 1.5" hooks is most likely 4 or 5 or older but there's no definite way to age a bird. Don't get me started on weights  . Now put your torches and pitch forks down. I'm bored and going nuts with this beautiful weather so I'm going to listen in the morning to soothe the soul. Hope everyone has a great season  . You, sir, (or ma'm) are referring to the 1-2 Aldeer brethren who claim to know how to do this. If you spend any time on this site you will quickly realize that bearded gobbling turkeys is what is most desired to be killed by AL turkey hunters. There has also been several weird-o out of staters who have come on here and essentially advocated for QDM principles for turkeys. For some reason they like to do that. Go back to your state and pick fights with you own turkey hunters. Take your .22 and go bust some hens while you're at it. Wow some people can not detect sarcasm even when it was pointed out in the original post. Btw, I wish they would outlaw 22s and hens are no fun to shoot

I think I will post more. I thought Yankees had no sense of humour. Had to check to make sure I wasn't on a Midwest deer forum. Va=yankeeland

Similar to my buck hunting, I'll pass on youngsters 99 percent of the time. But on the day that 1% is ready to die then a young buck or jake may get a dose of lead poisoning.

Genetics is one thing you do have to take into account. Not all birds will grow draggers even if they live to a ripe old age. No different than the spurless birds being killed.
While I could be convinced differently, I am skeptical that spurs are genetically linked, as in bird with bigger spurs passing on to his offspring bigger spurs. I also seriously doubt spurless gobblers have any genetic component. Would love to see some publication backing this up.
I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine

Just like deer hunting for me. Depends on where I am. If hunting our land or leases I only shoot longbeards. If I am hunting public land it better not have a ruffled feather on its neck.
Private land birds are alot more predictable because they love the plots and roads. You don't necessarily have that on public land.

when in the cornbread hell did Va become a Yankee state??? I guess Robert E. Lee was a Yankee????
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
