Actually neither one is accurate. Both are a guess unless it’s the obvious like a Jake.

Spur length is a decent ball park but not exact. I think the old timers had it pretty close on spur length for guessing age. And beard will never ever-ever-ever tell you jack crap about age!!!!!
Some of the info i got on tagged jakes that were recovered 5years later sounded about right. Not exact - but close

I killed a red phase bird years ago. Beard was a little over 11 inches and spurs weren’t 3/4 inch.

Nothing is truly consistent on turkeys. You can accurately age jakes, two year olds and then 3+. Even distinctions between 2 and 3+ can get tricky. There’s been quite a few older birds killed that had spurs no longer than the day they were captured years prior, although most do follow our rules we’ve established, some don’t. Same for deer. Tooth wear aging is not very accurate, and it’s only as accurate within the framework as the person looking at the teeth. Yeah the teeth wear is a location location location thing .
