Congrats on the bird! I've been turkey hunting 4 years and have yet to kill a turkey.

Also, very creative blind/tank.

Congrats. Better to be lucky than good anyday. A spurless turkey... I've been lucky enough to kill a pile of birds and have never seen one with no spurs. I've seen broken spurs but never a complete smooth leg like that. Maybe someone on here will know what would cause that

Sweet...congrats :way:

Where does a guy get an old army tank for a blind??

Congrats on a fine bird! Bearded hens do not have spurs

If thats a bearder hen, then consider me Miles Davis!

Why do you say that Miles? Do they not get beards that long?

That's a gobbler. Look at the head. I had a buddy shoot one a few years back that had no sign of spurs

The bird is pretty well intact after being shot from a tank....Congrats!

Did you look at the pictures? That is definitely a mature gobbler. It is not that uncommon for them to not have spurs.

I guess I didn't look at the pics very close, particularly the head.
