Wondering on average, how much a turkeys beard grows per year???? I know we have hard winters/deep snows & beard rot but is it sorta like rings on a tree,some years alot, some alittle??? |

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. Earl |

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. |

how do you measure the beard, or where do you measure from at the base. |
