Your logic is mystifying.

That's a truly world class animal and you chose not to commemorate it with a mount because you have a bird with 7 beards?  I know no one who would say, "well, I just shot this 220" buck but I'm not going to mount it because I killed a 180" two years ago.

Congrats on your kill but that bird deserved better than that. I can assure you, you'll never kill one with that pairing of spur length and multiple beards again.

Congrats Derek, that's the icing on a heck of a year.  As for all the comments, not your bird, not your decision.  I've seen the other bird, he makes a better mount.  Not everyone insists on filling their walls with turkeys.
A veteran is someone who, at one point, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America' for an amount of 'up to and including their life.'
   
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

Yeah you should of spread his ashes across a beautiful meadow full of hens or built and cross and stuck it in the ground where you killed him with a poem about death and the after life on it.  ::)
