That is a dang nice double bearded bird.I live next door to a full time taxidermist,so I have seen plenty of trophy birds.My cousin,who is the taxidermist,has never had a double bearded bird in his shop that had two FULL beards like that one. I have a real good 25lb bird on the wall with 1 1/4'' spurs.My next goal is a double beard or a bearded hen.That one there would be going on my wall for sure!

Very nice bird!!! You are from Delaware county, ? I'm guessing this bird wasn't wandering the mean streets of Muncie. I was born and raised in Randolph county and went to college at Ball State. How far did you have to go to see birds? I heard they opened up the Mississinewa public ground for turkey hunting. It has only been aroud 4-5 years since they let birds go there, I don't think they should have opened it yet. Congrats again!!!
