Spur Trimming - Advice, Thoughts, Experiences?

[Chickassan]

You can hold a penlight to his spurs to see where the quick ends. His spurs are light colored and very straight so it should help you guage how far you can go without much issue. I do that with mine since he bleeds terribly.

Thank you. I did consider that actually! I have now trimmed the tip off his spurs and filed them smooth... it wasn't nearly as stressful as I thought, but I was nervous about cutting too much off and hurting him/making him bleed so fear perhaps I have been too cautious. The sharp ends are gone at least.

That should take care of it...the one looked really sharp.
