Does age have anything to do with sput length?


When was the last time you saw a jake with spurs an inch long? I forgot you haven't seen any jakes so you wouldn't know. This is just more common sense Ben

I have never seen a jake with long spurs. We have not seen a jake in 3 seasons but have a group of 4 right now!! I have killed several gobblers with no spurs at all, Have killed several with one long spur on one leg and a small bump on the other. Have killed some with double spurs. Maybe you can provide me with the the absolute break down on how long a spur is every year so we can all accurately measure and age turkeys? I have seen studies where 2 yr olds have 1.5" spurs which I would have thought would mean an older turkey?
