Beards and Spurs

[crappieangler]

We've got some carnage here fellas, some turkey killing machines!  Thanks for some of the ideas you've given me as well.  If I keep up on the pace I'm at hopefully I'll be in some of your shoes down the road, like others have said I just want something to savor some of the hunts through the years.

I have the hulls labeled with bird #, place, time, distance, bird specs, etc.

I like the board, where did you get one?

BTW, some of the pictures in this thread make me feel very insignificant:D:D

Impressive Joe! Where do you keep that string? That would look great in a trophy room up along a crown molding.

I did have it in my room at the top of the wall. Now it's laying on one of my mounts.

I got the board at the last NWTF convention from:

Need to order another one soon..Held off on buying more than 1 at the time because I didn't know how i'd like it...I love it and it gets a lot of compliments..

Also got the turkey slam display from the site...Going to put one my slams from this season on it..

Tie the beards on a string, and toss the spurs in the trash.

I keep my spurs but I don't really display them.  Beards on the other hand I put in a beer mug and let the bristles stick out the top.  When one mug gets full I just start another one.  Looks good setting on the mantle and dosn't take up a lot of space.

Hey Joe,
The tail feathers that look like they're stuck in bondo at the base of the mount on the right, is that for a mount or a new decoy?

A page from the album (some of this year's birds):

I like it, how are the pics affixed to the pages?

Barry I was trying to figure out how to make a tailfan in an arc like gobblers do when they are bringing their tail down. That was just an extra tail I used as practice. It came out real nice. Then I mounted the real one on my Edward Scissorhand mount. I think the first one turned out better but they both look OK.

Unlike my beards, I keep about 90% of my spurs in one location.  I need to get me one of them strings, but until then I'll just throw them in my bucket.  The plan is if I ever get the bucket to where it won't hold anymore spurs I'll retire from turkey hunting and take up golf or something.

My beards go on the appropriate state beard board.  I have three of these boards, one for Florida,  Georgia and Alabama.  This is my Bama board.


I got the bright idea when I moved to Alabama I would make a board for each season for ten years (93 to 03).  I made one the first year then just threw the next nine years worth in a shoe box.  Here they are spread out on the driveway.  The board is at the top.  I took an old board and drilled holes the size of a 12 ga. shell in it.  I put the shells through the hole then put the beard in the shell.  Looks pretty good hanging up, the beards stick out from the wall instead of hanging down.

I also have what I call my Uh-oh board.  It includes shels from misses with the place, date, and who I was with when the miss occurred. It also has accidental Jake kills, shot off beards, a bearded hen,  and a hospital band from my broke nose turkey.

Oh, and I forgot to mention about half of these are from high pressured public land.  Some folks seem to always mention that for some reason so I figured I should too.

Guesswho, obviously you need to keep seeking advice so you can figure it out!  No turkeys in Bama, especially on public land!!!

How many buckets of spurs does your mom have?

[barry]

Your Momma taught you well gw!!!
