Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default Needle sharp spurs

Wanted to show some impressive needle sharp spurs on a past gobbler.

Those aren't real long, but they would certainly do some damage!

Good looking spurs. What part of the country did he come from?

All of my hunting is in Western NY. Those spurs were over 1" long, and that is a very dandy pair in anyone's book. While not 1 1/2" long, which has the odds of shooting a 14 point buck, I'll take spurs like these any day!!!

Yea, I didn't mean to diss them on their length and they are definitely longer than I think the picture shows.

No harm TG, think everyone is starting to get a little antsy for their season to get here.

Hey, I haven't shot a 14 pointer yet, but my best bird has 1 1/2" spurs, a big paintbrush of a beard, and a fan the size I've never seen any other bird come close to!

Great looking spurs for an eastern turkey taken in the north east. I have shot a ton of turkey and some of my best birds didn't have spurs that were that nice. A neighbor got a 22 pounder last year with razor sharp 1 1/2 inch spurs. My biggest to date is 1 1/4.

That's the Holy Grail for me, 1 1/2" spurs. Pretty rare in my parts, taken a lot just under and just over the inch mark, but that quest lingers on for me. For all those who have taken a gobbler with 1 1/2" spurs, that their is a very special bird indeed. Congrats!!!
