4 beard Bird
Killed a monster of a multiple beard bird this morning. Fourth bird this year. I repositioned 4 different times and spent 3 hours and 15 minutes fooling with this bird before he finally came in to me. Shot time 9:15 and he was at 27 steps. 4 beards, first one is 10 1/4. Second is 8. Third one is 7 7/8. Fourth one is 6 and 3/4. Both spurs are 7/8 inches and he weighed 18lbs 1oz.

Seen double beards but never a 4 bearded. This one's certainly worthy of a wall plaque. 18lbs. nice size too. As read it took a little fussing around on your part to get him to come in. Well Sir. Not only did you get the bird but also a story to be told. That's cool. Congrats on a successful hunt Todd1700.
