I killed a nice longbeard last spring on the second day of my weeks vacation. I was hunting with a friend of mine and he couldnt stay for the whole week so i asked him if he would take my gobbler home with him so i could keep hunting. Anyhow before i gave him my bird i cut the beard off and he kinda looked at me funny. Well the reason i cut the beard off is because i would not put anything past this guy. I really thought he might do something to my bird and i didn' t want him messing with the beard. Moral of the story is. Dont leave anything that means a lot to you just laying around so someone can take. There are only a few people in this world i trust and all 3 of them live in my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
