if you look between the lower 2 beards it looks like rot or somthing that might be seperating the beards. but im not sure what defines a seperate beard

RE: single double or triple beard???????
 

Congrats, you my friend have a nice triple beard bird!

Looks like 3 to me!

RE: single double or triple beard???????
 

can't tell if the bottom beard is separated at the base or somehow broke / rotted in middle...
either way, great beard...
should be able to tell when you cut it off...

RE: single double or triple beard???????
 

i would have to go with 2 and some beard rot
but its hard to tell so in my opinion since your not on my team i have to say 2 (lol)

RE: single double or triple beard???????
 

Since you believe that you might have the state record if its really 3 bearded, I'd have someone from the DEM check it out. They have to have a turkey biologist that can make the call for you. Either way, not a bad position to be in! Great bird either way!

There is a noticeable node from where the beard is protruding on each picture albeit better in pic #1

Wish you were on our team!
Great bird!

RE: single double or triple beard???????
 

If the beards share a common (same) base then it would count as a double beard if they don't share the same base then you have a triple beard. Do they move independent of one another? If so they are single beards and he has three.
Great bird either way, congrates.
