Well, since my buddy didn’t take a pic of the turkeys fan, I guess we’ll never know! My bet is still a jake, simply because it was 6 of them in the bunch. He actually missed him the first shot, and he didn’t even fly or run. Robinhedd I'm going to have to disagree with you, there isn't a jake alive with 1 inch spurs. Like I said earlier.... most 2 year olds don't eclipse the 1 inch mark unless they were an early hatch. I've also seen single gobblers run with droves of jakes a pile of times. I once saw one longbeard running with 37 jakes out West years ago. I can verify that there was at least one alive with 1" spurs - he is dead now. I killed him about 20 years ago. Staggered tail fan, short beard and 1" rounded spurs. He would have been a good one the next year!

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

There are norms and anomalies, and although that would definitely be an anomaly, it’s certainly not out of the realm of possibilities. Extremely rare though. I’ve never seen it.

I’ve never seen it. right - all i know is if a male turkey has a full gobble, by definition, he is a gobbler - whatever his fan/beard/spur combination ends up being if he’s gobbling the woods down, he’s legal & a target
