I have never seen one in person so I am wondering if my eyes are playing tricks on me? The back one seems to have two large beards and the front one seems to have a small second one as well. Am I right? I may try to target the back one, though that is not going to be easy as I can't be mobile in a blind. I cropped the photo to make it easier to see.

Looks like a double on the 1st and possible 3 on the strutter? One hung up on that corn stalk below him?

That's either a double or more beard or its a wet paintbrush. Either way I think he's impressive for sure. I think technically there has to be skin in between the beards for multiples. Let's us know when and if you get him. Good luck!

I think that is correct, I bought up the picture full sized and it looks like it is to far back to be a beard and just does not seem like the right shape. I could well be wrong though. I can like a full sized picture but will have to put a separation between the address because the picture is huge as I was shooting maximum resolution in both RAW and Jpeg. Here is the full image you will have to join the address together.

Maybe.  Kind hard to be sure unless you shoot him and find out.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

I'd guess a definite no on the first one and a probably not on the second one.   I hope you get a chance at either one of them to find out for sure.   Good luck.

Thanks, me too. I am liking my decision to let the 5 jakes go last year, thinking these could be one of them, no way to tell though.

Sure hope to as well as get some more pictures. I found this picture and zoomed it in really close, looks like it may be one beard that forks out at the end but still hard to tell for sure.
