Okay, guys,...looks like we got a killer squad here. We ought to be able to win this thing!
the main point to remember is that to win, we will probably need at least one multi-bearded bird...and maybe two. How many of you hunt in places that you have a chance to kill a multiple-bearded gobbler?
....If you do, then try to get'r dun. We will need those birds! :

I can't get em to stay long enough to measure beards and check spurs, much less weigh them. They seem to frighten easily, no matter how slow I walk towards em. It much easier for me to do it after I shoot em. :TooFunny:
Jay,
It's apparent you are a relative newbie to the art of turkey hunting. All really experienced turkey hunters learned long ago the art of Turkey Whispering. We use this to put gobblers in a trance like state so we can take our measurements. Then if they measure up we wake them up and continue to call them up for the shot. I would teach you how to do this, but you are on another team. get with me after the season and i'll try to help you. ;D
BTW will do no good to ask other hunters if they can turkey whisper... they will deny it. It's kinda like a secret brotherhood, But I can't keep a secret worth a dern. ;)

Video please ;D
I shot one at my camp in 2008 that scored 103.8125 with 4 beards. I've seen a triple beard out there also about 9 or 10 yrs ago. Killed way more 2 year olds though!!
I had both a double bearded Jake and tom last year on game camera 2 weeks before the season started.
Once I got in there during the season I didnt see either of them.I ended up killing 2 jakes and a lady friend I took in there for a hunt killed a longbeard.
Hopefully they are still around this year.I have never killed a multi-bearded bird but I killed a bearded hen last fall that had a 7 3/4 inch beard.
Good topic people!
I am looking at every bird closely but with no avail. I thinks its going to be a tough year here in MD for me. Like the Wildman said about the brother hood being tight liped, as soon as I open my mouth the locals hear my accent and turn the other way. So I am having a hard time getting any good intell.
