A couple turkey pics

The second pic the date was not reset so it is off...by alot. Opinions on size, would you take either of them?

I'd take em both. Where I'm hunting we have a lot of younger birds (2-3 year olds) so I wouldn't hesitate on these. It's personal preference so if they would be a trophy/accomplishment for you then there's your decision!

 

I'm horrible at estimating age and beard on turkeys.

 

I would take em'! As far as aging goes, it would be tough to do so with these pictures, you can't see the spurs which really is the most accurate way to age a turkey since beards can rot and shorten due to varies reasons. Check out this link, it should help:
