The first longbeard I killed by myself had a 1 5/16" on one leg and 1 3/8" on he other. Been mostly downhill ever since on the spur front. Is that the one with 23 beards that i seen at ur house? No sir. That one has 1 1/4" spurs.

You've killed bigger birds in the few years that you've been hunting than me and 98% of all turkey hunters will ever kill. Pretty impressive for a sneaky mini van hunter

I know pal. I'm tickled to death with a 3/4" spurred 2 year old though. Any one of them that will act right tickles the chit out of me. Heck, a jake that acts like a man is subject to get dealt with.

Where does that multi beard rank in the state rankings? He's got to be top 5 #3

1-1/8" - my one and only bird since I've started 4 years ago It'll get better man. Make sure you aren't doing the same things over and over and making the same mistakes. It'll click. My biggest are 1 3/8. My dad and I hadn't been hunting turkeys to long. We walked out on a road just after daylight and made a few calls. Hadn't heard anything and were standing there trying to decide what to do. We look up and this dang turkey comes running around the bend about 100 from us. All we could do was stand and watch him lock up the brakes and pitch out. Knew where he went so we eased out to the gas line he landed on. Sat and waited him out for an hour or so and got up to leave and the bastard pitched up off the ground not 20 yards behind us! It didn't work out well for him.
This is Aldeer! The place people come to vent their frustrations and completely change their stance a few minutes later...

My biggest problem was time, or lack thereof. In those 4 years, I only hunted a total of 6 weekends. I am looking to change that this year. I hope to hunt every single weekend of the season, and maybe a weekday or three.
