No sir. He has a thick main beard that had about 3/4 of its width missing due to beard rot. The other 1/4 was full length. The entire main beard was split giving it the appearance that it was a different beards when it is not. Then it of course has the two smaller beards above it.

Mine had an 11.25 in beard and a 7.875 inch smaller beard above it.

On Thursday afternoon we kept tabs on them from a distance until they went to roost and snuck in there on Fri morning and punched their ticket. We talked about that unusual beard quite a bit Thurs night and my buddy decided that’s the one he wanted. We had no idea the other one was a multi. It was a great hunt and they were some gobbling fools that morning. It was the tagout bird for both of us so that made it really cool as well.
