Title: #4 in the state just got back!
Post by: haulinbass on January 24, 2016, 02:58:46 PM: Just got my bird back from my taxidermist. It has been a long 2 years waiting but either way he did a great job. I scored it and it came out overall #4 just have not got it submitted. 5 beards on him helps a lot! Well all that being said enjoy!

What do they even measure on a turkey for the book? I didn't even know there was a turkey book.

Post by: Jester052 on March 12, 2016, 01:34:20 PM: 5 Beards!!!!!! Wow! I've never shot a multiple beard bird. Did you see all the beards before you shot, Or walk up to one heck of a surprise? Side question, how rare are they? 1 in 100?

Post by: rosscrazyelk on March 14, 2016, 03:09:17 PM: I plan on mounting a Tom someday in the fanned out strut position. Can you tell me how tall, wide that thing is?
I am in the stages of planning my man room and want to save a space for a Big Tom and would like to have a idea.
Thanks
