Congrats on a nice bird.

Not trying to be rude so please don't take it that way, but definitely not born last year, he would have nubs for spurs and a "jake" "beard if that was the case as he would be a jake. Most likely with spurs just over a inch he would be 3 years old. You can use the "spur aging guides as a reference" but of course it will vary regionally some. Either way he is a beautiful bird. Hope your son is able to feel better and connect on a bird!

All three I have shot this year were 3 by spur guesstimate and satellite birds so definitely not the boss toms. I need to post them but forgot how to post pics lol
