Thanks for posting those woody! My buddy in the top pic had never shot a tom and is a relatively new hunter (less than two years). We got him yesterday morning 15 minutes before sunrise as we called him off the roost and he came in on a rope. Today I was able to get my largest tom weighing right at 28# with 1 1/4 spurs. The only down side for my team is that he had beard rot and only had a 2 3/4 inch beard. Overall it’s been an awesome week and I’m so thankful I was able to get my buddy his first bird. He called both of them in too so I’m even more proud of him.

Glad that someone finally smiles in a harvest photo people always look like they are mad they were successful

I have a bird that just showed up on the trail cam that has to have it, the beard is maybe 30 hairs. Long, but VERY sparse and "patchy". |

Honestly I’m not sure, there’s a couple different theories for mine so beard rot isn’t 100% a fact. But the one you have definitely sounds like that... I’m only going off of what my coach thought who was a wild life biologist for TN |

I don’t know how to post pictures in here but the weird thing with mine was that it was a perfectly clean slice. So I don’t think it was broken off. The only other real theory I have is that someone shot at him with one of the wide turkey broad heads and missed... some of those are sharp enough at 350 FPS I think it’d be possible |
