Funny you say that, in 3 turkeys I have personally been with while shot in Montague county, 2 were double beards. And a few more at the lease were 3+ beards that I only heard about. In other counties, all just singles. My first turkey there was a double and a few weeks ago I was hunting and my friend took down a multiple that had 18 inches. One of my turkey fanatic friends hunts non-stop has shot a couple multiple in his life out of 100+ turkeys. Funny how the odds are in certain places. 11 1/4 is my longest though.

i think the problem with getting over a 12'' beard is that there beard drags the ground and keeps there beard at a steady length. if you go some where where the birds are larger odds are the beards would be to

I'm like Treebass...I have a bushel basket full of 9-10" beards. This one was my all time longest at a hair over 12". Nothing else over 10.75"  In all the birds I've shot only one was a double bearded bird....Now my kids are the "Multi-Beard" slayers. Son with double beard:  Son's five beard bird from last year....This was a jake I let him bust....without knowing it was a 5 beard freak!!  A double by me and my daughter. Her bird on the left was a double beard.

I have one that's just a touch over 11" and I shot one 2 years ago with 5 beards ranging from 8 3/4" down to 1/2" . They stair stepped down in length but each was clearly it's own beard.
