2007 Bird had 1 1/2 spur and a 1 5/8 inch spur. 12inch beard. Killed in Forsyth/Stokes county line area .
Got my 2nd this past Sunday in Harnett county where the birds do not get over 18 pounds. Bird had 11 inch beard and 1 1/4 inch spurs, weighed just over 20pounds.

1 & 3/8" are my biggest and several 1.25". I never expect to top 1 & 1/2". Kinda like multiple beards. I've called them in for others, but never shot one myself.

My best was 1 5/8" on one leg but had broken the tip off the other one and was only 1 5/16".

There are only 4 birds in the NC NWTF Records with 2" or longer spurs.

By far my 2018 Bird. Someone at the club (not me) used a tape and called one of them 1 and 11/16th's. Only a 10 inch beard, but a monster gobbler!
