My oldest killed a gobbler in Arkansas that had 1 7/8 inch spurs, which is the longest of any we have killed.

My brother killed a gobbler in Kansas that weighed 26 lbs and some ounces and that was our heaviest bird until my same son killed one the same year that weighed 28 lbs and some ounces. They were both taken at the beginning of season so were still fat from the winter.

Longest beards is 12 3/4 inches. Several that have been 11 inches plus.. The bird I have mounted is a tripled beard. I have also taken several double bearded ones to include a nice one that had a 10 1/2 inch and an 8 1/2 inch beard. He was a no doubter. I knew he had a double beard as he was strutting in because they were so visible.
