Sell a 4 Beard ?

[jryser]

That's a big part of what's wrong with hunting nowadays people wanting to "look" the part without the effort.

That's not a specific to hunting, there's people like that for all kind of pursuits. Always going to be some wannabe that acts the part, just to be cool.

Amen on that!  Great piece with Zach by the way - graceful ice moves (I write the music for the show! My latest tune is Catman's Ice Dance!).

You do some awesome music for them, always been a fan of it. And I'm not sure if you're joking or not about the ice dance but that's pretty funny either way.

Thanks Catman!  Yep - your song is in the works and I'll send it to Zach this weekend!  Jake got one too when he fell thru - and of course Zach has a few named after him!

I get the downsizing thing, but, man, I have a heck of a time parting with any of my turkey keepsakes - I have a turkey egg my dad found in Wisconsin, must have been 15 years ago or more - the egg is worthless, but not the fact that he picked it up and gave it to me when I came to visit - I just can't get rid of it, but I wish I could get rid of some of the things cluttering my turkey closet.

You can call White Fox Fur &Feather Co at 507-869-3877 and ask them if they would be interested. Maybe not, not sure but I just sold them Six fully skinned out turkey skins wings and all. Shot a double single year Grand Slam last year and didn't know what I was going to do with them, so I sold them to them. The two Osceola I kept. Not sure if I got more because they had all the feathers or not. Because it looked like it was priced more per tail or per wing. Some tails were damaged, but gave $3.00 per wing. But they want the Merriums more because they get a lot of easterns. Call and see might be able to clean house, and make anought to buy some new mouth calls.

I agree the fans and beards don't take up that much space. I could find a lot of stuff to downsize before I  started throwing away my Gobbler beards/spurs.

I know on WV it is illegal to sell any part of wildlife. So I would check your state to be sure it is legal.

A taxidermist may buy em.  If it's legal of course, I don't know.
But I bet it would look in the NWTF competition on some bird next February.

Not for sale. 

[turkaholic]

Still have 32 years of beards and spurs. Guess I'm old school. I use some parts to tie dropper flys for striped bass fishing

[Clydetaylor1]

I got a double beard I would not part with, much less a 4 beard. The double bearded bird did not have any spurs.

I should have said a bit more here.

One reason I posted the pic was to show ways to display a multi bearded bird. I am sure others have some neat ways of displaying too.

The most important though, is that if you sell your beard(s) you get the cash...but it won't be long and you won't remember what you even bought with that money. But you will always remember the hunt when you look at your beard.
