Just checked out the harvest score page. There is an 83 point tom on their that had a 19" beard (according to his score sheet). I have never seen a bird with a beard even close to being that long!
I had to go look because I was curious and it looks like he added up the length of the two beards on the bird. His bird had some crazy spurs on it too.
Well.. Went out 3 times this week and saw a bunch, but nothing came close enough. Had some hens around me again this morning, but still no toms. Not even a gobble..
Yeah, when you kill a bird with multiple beards you get to combine their lengths. A few years back when my youngest was 7, he killed what would have been the #8 bird all-time in the state of OK ... It had three beards that totaled close to 20".
Sorry I didn't contribute to the win. This is the 1st time in a few years I didn't connect with one. Oh well there's always next year. Good job to the guys who got one or more.
