Title: Is this gobbler a double beard or not?
Post by: northms on March 02, 2018, 10:26:01 PM
Is this gobbler a double beard or is it just one beard that has a split? Most double beards don't have the same length and/or aren't that long. It has peaked my curiosity though. My brother, who has a few more pics I don't have here, is convinced it's a double beard that has two equally huge beards. I think it's one beard with a split.

Last year we did kill double beard, albeit much smaller second beard, is this exact same spot. And have killed them there before in years past.

What you think? One beard or two?

First pic is third from left.

Second pic is second from left.

Third pic is first on the left.

Fourth pic is all the way on the right as he's leaning down.

I think it's just forked but I'd smash his head just to be safe

I am with Taunto on this one, kill him then confirm the beard, either way he is a good bird

Looks to be just a single beard just a "split" in the feathers, but a good one at that!

My vote is a single beard as well. Let us know when you find out
