I can't see the pic up close enough, but, if you can see his spurs in it, I would consider any spur over 1" a good bird. 1 1/4" + and you should be able to hang him on a limb. I would consider a 1" spur to be at least a 3 year old. I don't usually like to judge by the beard because they typically only reach 10"-12" and anything after that rubs off on the ground. Body weight is hard to judge in my opinion, but I've shot a bird that had an 11" beard and 1" spurs and only weighed 17 lbs. My biggest is over 28.
