I cant get a good picture of it , but it does have skin between the beards, im gonna mount him so when i get him fleashed i should be able to tell, ive killed split beards before that had no space between them,they are usually no brainers, this one is hard to tell, with out looking at the folical inside! Every body thats seen him in person had the same opinion,Thanks for the feed back! Really im happy eaither way if hes a double hes a heck of a nird if hes a single hes a heck of a bird with the thickest beard ive ever killed, when i get him fleashed, ill post an update!
