You guys keep posting this stuff and I'll have to get off my azz and head down the basement and see what I can find............

Nice!!!

Here's a couple of sets that could rip your hands open...

Man, those are some nice toms!

 

Six longbeards, the closest one to the camera has some nice hooks. In the other photo, they measured just a hair under 1.5 inches.

This one came into one of my zip-tie scrapes in mid-Feb.

Nice pic's guys! Just curious. Anyone know the length of the longest spurs from an eastern?

The NWTF keeps records and perhaps some individual states do too.

 

I  didn't dig it up, but I'm pretty sure that some have been taken with 2 inch spurs..

 

The longest that I have ever seen personally were  1 1/2 "....My personal best is 1 7/16 "....

I was beat in a contest by a bird that had 1-3/4" spurs about 6 years ago. 

 

I Saw a post on a different site a week or so ago, of a guy who had 1-7/8" spurs from North Carolina

 

My sharpest spurs were off a bird that was only 1-3/16" big heavy bird..

According to NWTF records, the longest recorded spur length is 2.250" for  an Eastern..It was a tie.  One bird was taken in Kentucky and the other one in Iowa.
