N Nate Shult Inactive Apr 26, 2012 #2 I wanna shoot me one of those. Anyone know what percentage of turkeys have multiple beards?
S shortwave New member Apr 28, 2012 #3 A trophy bird indeed. Over the years, I've killed probably 25-30 turkey's. In that amount, two had double beards. I saw one being checked in that had three but that's the most I've ever seen in person. I'd say with confidence, a 4-5 bearded turkey is very rare.

We did not notice it being a triple until we cut the beards off. Attachments turkey.jpg 222 KB · Views: 21 thriple beards.jpg 6.5 KB · Views: 22 Last edited: Apr 28, 2012
