Awsome Gobbler. Congrats!
Congratulations on a very fine gobbler. I know what to think - very good job!!
Yup I agree that is a bird to put permanently in your memory and story line. I know what I would think, I'd think I was one lucky dude and be quite proud of that critter. These are the hunts we put all the time in for. Experiences like this are few and far between, enjoy it and puff out that chest....when you got the goods it's just fine to politely brag a bit.
Congrats again, "Not sure what to think" think which taxidermist am I using!! Great Tom , and you owe your coworker a dinner.
Well you will be thinking about that hunt and gobbler forever. Congrats!
Nice bird. I got a triple beard once and regret not getting it mounted.
Congratulations, awesome bird.

That's a dandy there!! I'd be thinking how blessed i was to harvest that turkey!!
Congrats Sir
6!?!?!?! Awesome. Congrats. Fine, fine bird.
Nice gobbler for sure .. congrats
Fine trophy ! Tell us the story
Congrat on a job well done.
Congrats. I believe I'd have to spend some cash and have that mounted by a good turkey taxidermist.
Once in a life time bird for sure. Congrats!
Incredible bird. Is this one you had been targeting or just happened upon him. Fine specimen indeed!
Awesome bird, Congrats!
Wow!
Congrats!
Congrats, bird of a lifetime right there.
Heck Of a bird congrats!
Congrats on a rare, fine trophy
I shot a triple last season. When I first saw it I thought it had just one really thick paintbrush beard. But when I walked up to it, to my surprise, I saw three nice distinct beards and a wisp of a fourth! I wonder if something similar happened to you or if you knew what you were shooting at the time. Spurs were nothing compared to yours, what a great bird, congrats!
Really Appreciate the thanks from everyone, Yes I Truly know how blessed I am to have been given the opportunity to take such a bird. And it will be etched into the memory bank forever.
Yes I took him to the Taxidermist today "Turkeys by Nicky's Wildlife Artistry"
And I will also be frying some turkey soon, saved all the meat too.

He was the first bird that I've heard all year, I heard him gobble 2 times 3days prior. This was my 25th morning in the woods, pre season scouting and hunting.

When he topped the first ridge with the other two gobblers he was a good bit larger than the other two and I could tell he had a really thick beard and that was the last time I looked at it. I was concentrating so hard on what he was doing I never looked back at it. When he left that ridge and came across the saddle and onto the ridge we were on I only concentrated on trees, limbs and his head. When I picked him up my buddy said "dang he's got 2 beards" and I said well thats cool and sat him down on his side to look. then they all started to come into view. I was in awe. Still am.
Huge congats to you on your bird also.
I've got one with 5 and one with 4 beards mounted . Both are in half strut gobbling on a limb. Both are kind of in a horizontal position , really shows all the beards nicely . Be glad to share a pic of them . Pm me if wanted .
