Title: Osceola Stud Turkey 14 & 3/8" Beard
Post by: vaturkey on March 26, 2011, 11:46:18 PM
My good buddy Ronnie from Tennessee harvested this bird on our 2nd day in Florida. Bird weighed 20 lbs. - Spurs 1.50" RL & 1.25"LL Beard Length unbelievable 14 & 3/8" As of today it appears to be the 2nd longest Osceola Beard ever recorded. Paper work for verification in progress. Good Job - Ronnie

Now that's a beard, and the other measurements were great also. There are some real high scoring Osceolas being put down this year for some reason.
