Default Limbhangers and otherwise large turkeys

I'm sure I'm in the company of some pretty accomplished turkey hunters, so I'm just wondering about what y'all have seen/killed in terms of spur/beard length/multiple beards...

I've gotten two real limbhangers in PA - the best had two 1-1/2 inch spurs. He scored really well. He had 11" bears and 23 lb. He now resides on my wall.

The second was a really old, ragged looking bird. He had a really thick, 5 1/2" broken off beard, weighed 23 lb. and had a 1-5/8" spur with a broken-in-half 3/4" one on the other leg.

NWTF lists birds with over 2" spurs!

I wanna hear about everyone's biggest birds. Post Pictures if ya have 'em!
