    That is an awesome beard and great picture. I have hunted several and have never saw one like that. But if I ever did while hunting. I would have a full body mount.

    That's cool. Never even knew about it, and I'm a Turkey hunter.

    I've shot a few turkey, but photoed 1,000's with game cameras. First time to ever see a beard like you caught on game cam. Never had one mounted but have fallen in love a few times. Some folks say I may be full of it too. Just sayin'.

    My first thought too. I've never seen one fully orange in color like that but I have seen some that looked like a half burned cigarette with a blunt orange ring around the end. The rest of the beard had fell off.

    Pretty sure that not beard rot. Iv seen it one time and it just kind falls out and gets really fragile.

    I killed a 21 pound gobbler with beard rot about 10 years ago here in central N.C. and just the tips were orange, not the whole beard. Cool pics, thanks for sharing.

    Great picture, I have hunted turkeys in many states but I've only saw 1 gobbler similar to this one about 25 years ago in northern Missouri. Great picture thanks for sharing, very rare sight.
