Great job on your bird!! I went today and listened. Our season opens Saturday. Heard 4 different gobblers in 4 different directions from one hill top!! Can't wait until opening day.

Also got my gun sticker in the mail today.

Quick question for you all. Don't you only figure score on multiple beard birds with the longest beard? Look over my entry and make sure it looks good to y'all.

Thanks for all the compliments!

[Illini Tom]

eric, i thought that looked like 2 beards in the first pic you posted
ya need to update your score!!
on multi-beard birds, you add TOTAL beard length to put in the calculator. thats 15 more points to your score!
great bird. a double beard's a trophy in my book 

[turkey buster]

double beard turkey!!! That's awesome

[ericjames]

Ok so you just add the second beard to the length of the first and put the total length on the calculator. I thought I had read that only the longest beard counted on multi beard birds. I still have him in the freezer I'm gonna try to stick him on the wall.

[ericjames]

This is where it got confusing to me.

[ericjames]

If you still can add the other beard this will be the score. Can y'all help me find out for sure. I'm PM'ed Shannon asking about it.

[ericjames]

Ok fellas. I just received a pm back from Shannon he confirmed it with only the longest beard counts on multi beard birds.
