[QUOTE="LenS, post: 5336232, member: 6466"] Last year I killed my largest spurred bird ever, at 1.5 inches. Heard him and a buddy gobbling about 8, set up, called, and he was dead in less than 10 minutes. The next week I worked a bird from fly down until 10:15 before I finally pulled the trigger. He gobbled all morning but would never seem to come in. 9 inch beard, not quite 1 inch spurs......but a much better trophy to me because of the awesomeness of the hunt. For me, and most guys I know, spurs come down to luck of the draw. And, honestly, beyond making sure it's an adult gobbler, I don't think too much about the trophy aspect until after I shoot. I will, however, pick out a substantially larger bird or a thicker beard if more than one gobbler come in. [/QUOTE]
