I killed one with a 5/8" spur on one side and a 3/4" spur on the other side.
Is that big?

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I killed one on Cheaha Mountain (Tdega Natl Forest) in Spring of 1992 with 1-1/2 spurs. Killed one on the same ridge in the Fall of that same year with 1-3/8 spurs. That one weighed 23lbs (digital fishing scales) and had 11-1/2" paintbrush. Got him mounted. Don't guess I've ever killed another one over about 1-1/4. Seems like every bird I kill is 1-1/8 (always call them 3yr olds). I am dear friends with an older man from Talladega who has two birds: One with 2" spurs and another with 2-1/4" spurs.....both from Cheaha Mountain. If possible, I will try to get pics of that 2.25 bird...it's mounted in his cabin. I've never seen anything like it. I'd call bullcrap on that bird, except I saw it dead in the back of his truck. Nothing else was overly big about that turkey.
We were on the edge of Eternia, when the power of Greyskull began to take hold.

My largest was 1 5/8. I have been very fortunate and have been able to kill 8 birds with inch and a half hooks or better. Here's a pic of a pretty good set that came out of Nebraska about 3 years ago.

Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

1.5" is my personal best. Approximately three years later, I called in another bird for my best friend that sported 1 3/4". Both birds were killed not more than 100 yards apart south of Cairo, Ga.
