Re: Anyone know??
I read in a couple books Lovett Williams and Dickinson that 3-5" per year is average and of course due to feeding, snows etc anything over 11" is tough to achieve due to rubbing on the ground.

Re: Anyone know??
Was wondering......I ran into three jakes last spring at the club.... they all seemed to have 5"-7" beards..... Ran inot three birds on the first Wed. of the season...The one I killed had a 10" beard.... Wondered/figured it was those same three birds that I'd passed on last spring.

Re: Anyone know??
how do you measure the beard, or where do you measure from at the base.
