I did a quick search but did not see a thread about beards, so if this is a repeat, I'm sorry!

As the title says, whats the longest bearded bird you have taken?

My longest is 12 1/2 inches.  I wish I new how to measure thickness, two years ago I killed one with an absolute paint brush!

12.5" for me also, except mine was not a brush, was pretty skinny.

I have two beards that are 11" and I got both birds on consecutive mornings in MO. I couldn't believe it.

Turkeys have beards??    ;)

I'm a spur man myself, gotta love them looooong hooks!

Oh yeah, this is a beard thread, sorry.  ;D

Longest beard, 13.5 and I just gotta say (like it really makes any difference) that I killed that tom on public land, Backbone Creek, Greene Co. Alabama.  :happy0064:

Side note......his spurs we're less than an inch long. You would expect a SagDaddy like that would have been toting some serious spurs. Nope, just a two year old.  :'(   lol

Have 2 that are 12.5". One of them came with 1/2" spurs, but the other came with 1.5" spurs. So apparently there is no correlation between beard and spur length.

11 3/4
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

One of my birds had a single strand that reached 12".  The rest of the strands were in the 10.5-11 inch range.  I still called him a 12"er.  Seems like the rest of.my.birds are in the 9" range.
