    I kept the beards from my birds, both about 9 inches, the spurrs were about 3/4 inch, but I didnt keepem! As for the contest, anyone who bags a turkey is a winner and rewarded by the experience itself!!!
    Hunt to live-live to hunt!

    I kept the beard of mine, it's 9 1/2 inches. The spurs were 1 1/4 inches, but I didn't keep them. However, I think I did take a close up picture of them.

    Do you need a tag for a turkey, and if not how are they regulating it?

    No tag required they regulated by bag limit just like deer.

    Arc - 1 1/2" spurs is huge !!! And the beard of 9 1/2'' ... awsome. Now get this, if your bird weighed over 15 lbs I think you would have had a provincal record. I looked up scoreing and only 1 bird from BC is on the NWTF record list. My bird would be just behind yours. Where did you get yours ?

    If you guys want a hand scoreing your bird just email me. Besure you get a dead on weight to the ouce and we can measure the beard & spurs.

    My tom was decent, but I'm pretty sure he was no Provincial record, I have seen a few shot that were larger than mine. I actually got a bigger one when they were still on LEH. He was a West Kootenay turkey. I am at work, but will post a picture up when I get home. Oh, and his spurs were 1 1/4" not 1 1/2".
