Shot this bird three years ago. I also got a full body mount on a silent auction at our NWTF banquet earlier that year and decided to let this one go to the guy. Afterwards was when I found out that the guy had NEVER mounted a turkey before. So I told him to do his best and we would live with whatever he came up with. In the meantime the guy had a serious bout with cancer, so I told him to put the bird on the back burner and just worry about himself. Well, happy to say that he is doing a lot better now, so much so that he is leaving tomorow morning for a bear hunt in Montana. And I have to say that he did a decent job with the bird too. But here is the funny thing, I remember killing that bird and thinnking that it had a really thick beard. Well, now I know why, it was my first ever DOUBLE BEARD!!!!!!! First beard is 11.25, the second is 8 3/8
