Main beard was just over 12" and second beard was right at 8". Spurs were 1".
First double beard. First crossbow kill of any kind. 2nd archery turkey but first archery tom. First kill out of my new blind. All in all, I had a pretty good day!

I'm thrilled for you. This is so exciting. Where did the bolt hit him? Hit him just behind the breast meat. Totally broke down the hips. Couldn't run, laid down and was done in about a minute. On the plus side, breast meat was totally undamaged!  |

On the plus side, breast meat was totally undamaged! Yep.. We definitely don't want to shoot them in the breast from the side . Nothing vital there. A turkey needs his legs to fly. They are not a bird that can stand there, flap their wings and take off flying . They need a few steps (running start ) to get air borne. |

Here is a better look at the beards. The main beard itself would have been my longest beard. Longest hair is about 12 1/4". The second beard has a couple hairs that are a little better than 8". The bird weighed 23.5 lbs.  |
