This is a 2009 Spring Double~Bearded Turkey, killed
by Scott McDonald of Columbia, MA on April 7th. He weighed 19 lbs, had an
1 and 1/4" spurs, and double beards. The longest beard measured 9 and 1/2"
and the second measured 6 and 1/2". The most unique aspect of this bird,
the longer of the two beards, took on a cork~screw shape (we assume this
is from wrapping around the shorter beard). The Turkey was killed on land
that has been in Scott's family for 100 years.
