Title: Got my first double-bearded bird
Post by: J Gilbert on March 28, 2011, 02:05:05 PM

Yesterday afternoon I was fortunate enough to knock down my first multi-beard bird. I messed up and missed one at 36 yards Saturday evening, so yesterday was somewhat of a redemption for me, I hammered him at 25 yards and he didn't even flop. Trying to remember the measurements off the top of my head, I got a 65.875 for him because the beard total was 16.875, if he would've been a year older he would've been 70+. No matter what, I'm happy with him, and he's waiting to go on the wall now. I'll post pictures and the story later, I'm heading to class now
