yes I'm with homerj on that and I would also add.......WHO CARES!

The beauty of a turkey hunt has hardly anything to do with an inch here or there on a beard, or an 1/8th of inch here or there on a spur.

We are losing sight when we start talking like deer hunters when it comes to turkeys. You hunt a mature bird, you battle him and you end up winning the duel on any given day you should smile wide and thank God you are a turkey hunter. Even when you lose the duel you should be thankful you had the battle as well. The beard, spurs and weight are but footnotes on the game just played.
