This is actually UNBIASED research... and it IS RESEARCH as opposed to anecdotal observations...

I’m having a hard time believing those spurs are 1.25 from that pic

 

[Dafish]

Should have given it another year..

great looking spurs, and I have NEVER EVER heard of anyone who ages by beard length (except jakes). Maybe they screwed up the data entry while banding or maybe that birds found a steroid patch, either way, if it was a 2 yo, imaging the spur length if he made it to four!

I have a hard time believing a renowned turkey research biologist would have trouble measuring a spur...

And Im POSITIVE thats not 3/4 inch and blunt...

People are worse at measuring spurs than they are antlers

People, yes. This guy? No... Id bet hes NWTF certified.

Does that look like a 2 year old to you?

 

[Hawk]

We could estimate from the pic. How wide is a turkeys leg on average?

I couldn't say.

Hawk, no question if that is actually a 2 yo, it's a freak and more than likely an exception to the rule. I would say determining a turkeys age accurately is extremely difficult.I wish I could cannon net the jakes we have that frequent our property this Spring and see how old they get , the spur measurement would be interesting as well since they walk on rocks and dull them from dawn to dusk.

It seems to happen a lot in their 10 years of research.

Ive never seen a turkey drag its spurs in the ground.... how are the wearing them down on rocks?

maybe they are not wearing them down on rocks, but if you have ever hunted in the Ozarks you know how it is possible.

 

[DoubleLiver]

How many teeth do turkeys have that we can send in to be aged???

Do you think terrain has any part in how the spur grow, I have always assumed it did, perhaps I'm wrong in that assumption.

the bird was from a cwd hot zone where seven tons of corn was put out to kill 7 deer off a participating victim owner. Show the research about how the turkey is spreading prions. WHAT A GREAT USE OF FUNDING.
