Title: 7 beard back from taxidermist!
Post by: derek on June 04, 2012, 03:29:00 PM
Last years 7 beard.  Had him back for a couple weeks now but just got around to getting him outside and getting good pics.  I think he turned out great, couldn't be happier.  Big thanks to Mark Hendrickson @ www.markscustomtaxidermy.com

Slammer bird!  Any idea what the NWTF score on him is?  The current (I think still) Alabama record bird was taken by a guy here in Erie, PA quite a few years back and he only sported 5 beards if I remember right and similar spurs.   SALMMER FO SHO!!

The taxidermist is in southeast PA. His website has a map in there to show you exactly where it is.

www.markscustomtaxidermy.com

Just noticed you are in Baltimore, he is about an hour from there. Just over the line from Cecil County.
