3 Bearded Gobbler?

My son took his first gobbler this morning and it just so happened to have 3 beards. How big of deal is that? I know it’s special but not sure how special....trying decide if I should full body mount it or just a fan mount.

Sounds very special to me, congratulations. Forrest

Depends on the area as to how many but they do occur with multiple beards. Some have even more than 3. Here are some from the past few months on my place that appear to have more than one.

Have seen the double but not a 3 beard. Congrats to the boy!

Very special!!, especially if they are all long. I've harvested a bunch of double bearded birds, but only 1- 3 bearded, and 1-5 bearded.

Congrats to the young man.

Sometimes its hard to determine from pics, or even binos whether a bird is multiple bearded. Seen a bunch that looked like they were, only to find it was a single beard with separation.

Congrats to your son, very cool

Congrqts to your son. Please have it mounted.

Congratulations to your son!!!

fairly common in some areas, genetics?

Congrats to your son, in my book that's very special, especially when a young hunter takes a good one like that!

Finally got around to the pics!

Very nice bird! Congrats! Got a three beard on my lease last year but I didn't shoot it.

That's a good one! Congrats! We have gotten a few doubles.
