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

Is that big?

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.

1&9/16" is my best overall. My best season was 2011 when four of my five birds had 1&1/4" spurs or better. Seams like every bird we killed that year was a four year old bird or older.

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.

Can I borrow the lucky horseshoe you have. Them's some fine hooks you're laying down.


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

If I could I'd hunt him again tomorrow. ..

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.
