Then I will jump the fence, retrieve my bird, and steal his trail markers and tree stands!

I am definitely not a trophy Turkey hunter[8D]I have been lucky and killed a couple over 26# in weight, and a couple with beards in excess of 12". Last years MO bird had spurs a hair over 1 1/2" I really think this was the oldest bird I've killed.
Gotta Love them MO Turkeys!

Magic...good to see you...not sure man...When the beard is hangin long I let it fly....when the bird is on the ground you will usually end up with 8-12 inches of beard....spurs from 1 - 1/4 inch, and 20 - 27 pounds???
You'll know when you got a jake in front of you and you'll know when the bird is pushing 12 inches...its in the blood....

I'm a rookie at this turkey hunting stuff. spur length, beard length help determine age. Is there any exact science to aging a turkey?
