i had an extra but unfortunately a mouse got ahold of it and chewed it all to hell. i got some others laying around the house somewhere i think. U gonna use it on a decoy?

RE: Turkey Beard
 

No, not a decoy. I am doing a tail mount for a guy and my cat got a hold to the beard.

or try a Taxidermy shop that specializes in Turkey mounts in your area.

Most keep as a trophy so this request might be tough.

That is why I listed ebay items - good luck

Always got to be a smart _ss in the group

RE: Turkey Beard
 

did you kill the cat ? Reminds me of one of my first birds I had taken,we were all done, went inside for a minute and the chickens were all over the table eating stuff, my beard was gone, i was ready to kill every chicken looking for it, but lucky for them, i threw it in the garbage bag on accident, so they got to live and i got my beard ;)

RE: Turkey Beard
 

Most of my family would kill the cat whether it messed with the beard or not; with all the allergies that run in the blood.;)We wouldn't really need an excuse.

RE: Turkey Beard
 

I have a couple...... still need one?

RE: Turkey Beard
 

He is not the only smart _ss. I have a bird getting mounted right now, you arn't doing my mount are you?

RE: Turkey Beard
 

i had a similar problem when i shot my first bird... when i got the bird home i laidthe birdon the back patio and the neighbors dog came over and ate the beard, i was about ready to shoot the dog

RE: Turkey Beard
 

Does the guy you are doing this for know you are making the swap? If so that's cool...if not, that's pretty deceitful, and you should man up to your mistake... I know I would like to know if my tom's beard went missing. Not a huge deal as there will be more to come, but atleast let him know.

Just my .01 cent.

RE: Turkey Beard
 

Obviously you don't get very many mounts done do you d!@# a!@

I know a coupletaxidermist pretty good. And they have all switched capes on deer heads and lied about it

RE: Turkey Beard
 

If your really stuck you could get a hold of a horses tail and use a pc. Its hard to tell the difference...

RE: Turkey Beard
 

Hey group - thos person asked for help - thanks to those who tried to help a fellow hunter - the others - well - things happen that are out of are control!

Please watch the wording.

RE: Turkey Beard
 

I have on laying around in my room. The bird I got last year, was preserving the tail and beard to mount it, the cat go a hold of the beard! So, i have the beard, just in a bunch of strands.

P.S. Anyone who thinks that putting a beard back together is easy, you're crazy! lol
