Congrats to the young man, and what a tom!  Rare to see those fully developed spurs on birds less than 4 years old.

So, I'm not a turkey expert.  How do you know the age of the bird?

that bird is a four year.  Awesome tom, congrats!  I've shot about 18 or so toms down there.  General rule of thumb is 1/2 is a two year 3/4+to 1 is a three year old.  A bird with 1 1/4" is for sure a four year old.
