Tom without spurs?

[Arrow Flinger]

My buddy shot a Tom last week that didn't have any spurs at all, not even little bumps. This bird had a full fan and a 9 inch beard, so it wasn't a Jake. Has anyone ever seen this before? I have pics, I just have to figure out how to send them to my E mail from my phone (new phone)!

Cool got one years ago that only had 1. The other leg was smooth, but never saw both missing

I have never personally shot one without spurs but have seen several over the years that friends or aquaintances shot with no spurs..Just last month when I was hunting in Ontario, my host's nephew stopped in with a nice adult gobbler that had no spurs.

Don't normally post but had to on this one.  I did the same thing a few years ago in Southern Ontario County.  Shot a bird with no spurs but full fan and 8" beard and 19 lbs.  It looked just like your pics.  Just little bumps where they should be and nothing more.

Never saw one without, weird? He couldn't have been too intimidating in the ole fight for a mate arena. Very nice bird nevertheless..

He was definately a subordinate bird. My buddy was on a field edge and was calling to a big Tom that was strutting for a hen about 75 yards away when he looked to his left this bird was just standing there looking at him 20 yards away! He never made a sound!

They have been known to have no spurs, one spur, or two spurs on one leg.
