Based on Blackriverhunter's OG profile showing a South Carolina location and the fact that ncturkey posted in,  I'm gonna guess that ShotgunDave is probably the mystery Head Hunter who took that bird.

Whats up fellas!?  Yeah thats my bird shot in SC this morning.  I'll post more pics and the score/stories later this afternoon.

How is a double beard scored?  Does just one of them get counted?  How does that work?  Thanks!

Take separate pictures showing the measurement for each of the two beards.  Also you need to take another picture with the feathers folded back showing the skin separation between the bases of both beards.  You should probably score each beard individually, list them both on your score sheet and then add them into your total score as Beard#1 and Beard #2.  Beards are a X 2 multiplier for the total.  Or if you use the OG scoring calulator, add the two beard lengths together and enter the sum total into the calculator.

Congrats on an awesome bird Dave!

Ok I took measurements and pictures of both beards but I didn't take a pic with the feathers pulled back.  I cut the beards off as one piece so they are still seperate.  Will that work?
