Beards or spurs, I don't care both are cool. Fun to shoot either way. I have multiple double beards, but still looking for the triple or more.

I agree Todd,my buddy and I saw a couple last year and the big boys spurs looked like daggers from 50 yards out. My buddy saw the spurs and his mind was made up,it had a 10" beard as well,but the spurs were 1 1/2'' he weiged in at 22 lbs. A real nice one.

Beards are cool, but spurs are the nuts!

This is the best bird I've ever seen and was able to get him the second year I hunted him in 2006. I'm pretty sure he was 4 years old and weighed 23 1/2 pounds. His beard is 10 1/2 inches long and the spurs are 1 1/2 inches. The fan is 30" across and 20" high, by far the best I've ever shot.
