Made a beard board - pics

[catman529]

Made this a couple days ago, I like how it turned out. Took a piece of barn wood from an old shed in one of the areas I hunted this year and actually killed 2 of these birds in the general area.

Fan is from opening day bird this year (my first opening day turkey). The tail feathers were cut off and glued back together on pieces of cardboard. Eliminates the meat trimming, borax mess, pinning to a board, and week or two of drying. Just cut the feathers off and reassemble them carefully with hot glue and cardboard.





All 4 beards/spurs are from this year's birds. Can't wait to see what I can kill next spring and add to the board. If I am lucky, I might kill a fall longbeard, which I have never done.

Thanks for looking

Awesome, I really like your beard/spur deal, is that the empty hull brass between the beard and spurs?

[ElkTurkMan]

I really like that, I may do something very similar.  Well Done!

Thanks yall.. Yep it is the empty brass holding the beards. All from the shells I used to kill each bird except #3 (far left) which I lost the original shell in the tall grass.
