I saw this story in the Raleigh newspaper and wanted to post it here.

Looks like it worked!

Have you heard anything else about this bird or not. I am curious to know the exact measurements and the weight.

 Here is a pic of all 8 beards... This bird is a true freak of nature... I still cannot believe it... I have killed tons of longbeards all over the country and I will never get one like this...    Joe Fuller

Congratulations, Joe!
 
That's awesome. Enjoy your day in the sun, cause like you said, you'll probably never get another like that one.
 
Keep us posted on the status of the record.

Well it went official Friday.. I still cannot believe it... Now that pressure is off my chest I have even more now with getting it mounted.. Or maybe he has more because he is mounting it and worring about not screwing something up in the process.. I have numerous  mounts but this one is going to really have its own place in my trophy room..

WOW!! really nice bird just curious to it's spur length and weight.

[STEROIDCHICKEN]

congrats joe,
that is an amazing bird.....#1, awesome.

[Gobblerman]

Add my belated congratulations to the list, Joe.  That is an incredible bird you took.  Make sure you find a really good turkey taxidermist to mount that one!

Does anybody know if T&TH is going to do a feature story on this?
 
Seems like a no brainer to me, but what do I know?
 
Maybe they are waiting on getting the bird back from the taxidermist or something.
