Another six beard!!

[Hillbilly Hunter]

This has been an unbelievable year for me even though our turkey numbers are down in my area. My daughter killed a six bearded Tom on the juvenile hunt and then I killed a four bearded Tom. This morning I killed a six bearded Tom, my second six bearded turkey. This one has over 41 inches of beard! He was very light, only weighing 18 lbs, consistent of strutting instead of eating.

[catman529]

Unusual bird right there, congrats

 

[TN Whitetail Freak]

U think its genetics? Are these birds coming from same area.....and i bet that bird weighed little more than 18 or little less cant wait for my day with a bird like that

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

They are from the same area. We have always had alot of multi bearded turkeys. My guess would be it is genetics.

Ha, I see you got all the pics of that one! Congrats, that's one heck of a bird right there! Think I'll take a line from Team Alabama..... "It's about to get real up in here". Yeah I think it just did....with a Tennessee bird! Lol.

LOL.....yelp that was my line :grin: Ol Hillbilly Hunter just posted up the equalizer to N2deer bird.

Congrats by the way Hillbilly Hunter on a stud and a ridiculous season. 3 multi beards in a single season 2 of which have 6 beards is crazy!!

His teammates must be sand baggig because he is the only one with an entry.

Impressive, congrats HH!

 

[Gravey]

Once is crazy but what are the odds of two with 6 beards in the same year? Congrats for sure. My taxidermy bill would go up.

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

My six bearded one and my daughters six bearded one are at the taxidermist. The four bearded one got ate. I got a $800 bill already.

Good turkey taxidermy ain't cheap. Just curious, what position are you getting them mounted in? I got one in full strut...never again, takes up way to much room. I think yours would look awesome gobbling on a limb. You could really see his beards good like that.

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

One of them gobbling, not sure bout the other one.

Way to go brother!

 

[mountain man 71]

Congrats that is a nice bird.

 

[Arrowslanger]

More beard than them duck dynasty folk. Sweet bird man!

Can't wait to see them. Money well spent. I've never had one mounted. Said I'd wait til I killed one with at least a 12" beard. Did that a few years ago but his spurs were average so I didn't. I did have my son's first one mounted in full strut for him. It's big but sits on top of the gun safe. I tried to talk him into gobbling on the limb but that didn't work.

Congrats! Hell of a season.

 

[TN RDG RNR]

very cool

 

[easy45]

wow, thats insane, congrats

 

[Frank G]

The numbers do add up quickly with multi-beards. 118+ is and will be hard to beat. Congrats on the "super bird", who cares about weight, may have been a 15# with a pound of hair

 

[Plateau Hunter]

Way to go HH! There must be a multi beard gene in your local herd. Congrats!

 

[redblood]

very nice. roundman gonna love you

 

[Bone Collector]

WOW! Congrats on a great bird!
