2012 Bow Bird

Post by schnarrfuss »

Finally closed the deal on a 19LB gobbler this morning. 13 yard shot with my Bowtech Destroyer and a NAP Gobbler Getter expandable broadhead.
19LBS
8 1/2" beard
3/4" & 7/8" spurs

The beard on this was half blond and half black. Cool looking.
What would cause this????

Spur length says it is a 2 year old bird. I have never seen a bird with a blond beard before.

Congrats on your bird
Some info
Fact: Discolored and/or broken beards are usually caused due to lack of melanin.

He explained that "Melanin is a dark pigment that makes turkey beards dark gray or black. When a beard has a lack of melanin, there may be a strip of orange or amber across the beard that not only affects the beard's color, but also its structural integrity, causing it to become brittle and susceptible to breaking off."
