Hunted w/a good friend of mine in Warren County. Set up in a green open field cause of the rain and I have been hearing a pair of toms in the area. At 7:15 the 2 toms entered the field and seen the decoys and marched right in. Since I was sitting on the left I had to shoot the bird on the left even though I could see he was with out a beard. To make it even worse, after the shooting and we went to get our birds, my buddy's bird had 2 beards. I tried to talk him out of his little beard but he wouldn't have anything to with it. Both birds were 2 year old and weigh 22 lbs. pictures to come later.

The regulation reads a male or bearded turkey. So it could be a female with a beard or a male without.

Beards don't taste that great anyway.
