I also have shot my share of turkeys. I killed one 10 or 15 years ago late in the season that was beat to heck. It had feathers missing, several cuts including a large festering cut on one of its thighs and had a broken spur. That’s the first and only time I’ve ever seen a broken spur.

None of that stopped that old warrior from coming in hot and looking for love though.

Glad he came in for you, Lugnut! I would still love to know what it takes to break off one of those spurs. Let me know if you have any theories!
