Scored a turkey with 11 beards.
I got a call the other day from a guy that lives about 25 miles from me and wanted me and another guy to get together and score a bird he got a few years back. At first I thought it might be a joke or trick but he brought it to my house and I could'nt believe it. All he had was the dried beards that was still attached to the breast skin, It was just a jake and the records where he checked it showed that he weighed about 16 1/2 lbs, and 1/2" spurs, but all the beards was awesome, he had 2 that was a little over 6" each and the rest of them measured between 2 and 3 inches. He had been working with the Mo. Dept. of Conservation and the NWTF to get him scored. The NWTF says that the record they have on file is 9 beards and if he could get 2 members of the NWTF to certify that it was real that he may hold a new record for number of beards. He is suppose to e-mail me some pictures, if he does and don't care I will post them on here.

Yeah I'm waiting on him to email me some of the pictures he took while we was scoring it, Hopefully he will send me some, but I'm not sure if he would want it posted on the net or not until he has everything finalized with the Mo Dept of Conservation and NWTF, I will try and let you all know what happens with this.
