I would say multiple beard birds are usually harder to come by than long spurs. With that being said I would rather take the multiple beard bird. I took a four bearded bird in Nabraska three years ago and it was awesome experience.

I like the multi bearded birds. I killed a 7 bearded bird about 8 years ago, still waiting for one to top that. We have killed several double bearded birds, a handful of triple bearded birds, and a couple 4 bearded birds on our farms. I killed a double bearded bird last year and have one on camera. Hope to wrap a tag on his leg in April, that's if DTC Jr doesn't do it first.

None of the above for me. The heaviest bird I've killed was last year at 23 lbs., I'm after a 24 lb one next but my goal is a 25 lb bird. May never happen, but have to keep looking.
Don't get me wrong, beards and spurs are definitely a plus, I just have my goal and weight is more important to me.
