I've killed a bunch of turkeys but never 1 w ivory spurs. My oldest killed this turkey Saturday in Mississippi
Weather was horrible. Only bird he heard.

Any of you guys killed a Tom w ivory spurs? Always heard of them never killed 1

I've killed a few with ivory spurs, they have all came from the same area in Giles county. Not sure what causes it, maybe genetics? Either way congrats to your son.

This is the only one I've ever killed that had any white on his spurs

Killed a bird YEARS ago with double spurs. At the time I had no idea that was rare or a big deal. Didn't even take a picture or anything of them lol.

To this day still regret that big time.

Not uncommon at all, pretty shocked an all knowing turkey slayer like yourself is surprised by this. I guess birds with spurs like this don't run into decoys much.

I got lucky and killed 1
But I was reaping
So does it really count

But I'm not much of a turkey hunter anymore. I'm pretty broke down physically and suffer from paralysis in a leg .Killed most of Mine 20-30 yrs ago. But I still like to go a couple times a yr. Just to take my youngest and get him interested .
He's 9 this yr
That's about all the turkey slaying in me
Hopefully he sees and hears 1.
