Whatta ya' call this one?
« on: May 19, 2013, 09:49:28 am »
A jake and a half? You got me. His fan is mostly full? His beard will stretch to  6 7/8"? He weighs in the 20# range? His spurs are 1/4" bumps? He ran off a full fanned 2 yr old from his hens. I seen a decent beard dangling and a decent sized bird. So I shot him at 60 paces, gotta appreciate those ol' boom sticks! I didnt know what to think once I got to him and checked him out, never seen a tweener in the spring.

Hey Drums!  If you have a turkey fryer, bring him to Marshall and cook him up!

I have heard of gobblers without spurs, but have never seen one.  Those nubbies are sure a classic looking Jake set, but that beard tells another tale.

I'd call him a 1 year old and a few months bird. The first bird I killed was a 3 year old with a 10 1/2" beard with no spurs, not even bumps. The next week I shot his brother with one spur, 1 1/4".

That's a bird with an attitude! No spurs to fight with and runs off another Tom? His #1 primaries look to be good size.
