Introduction

Around two years ago, a good friend of mine, Danny Griggs, invited me to go turkey hunting. I'd never been turkey hunting before and figured "Why not?" Well, I didn't get a turkey, but I did find out lots of interesting things. While white-tail buck hunters are after the "Big Rack," turkey hunters are after the "beard." The beard is located on the upper chest area of the male, and the longer the beard, the better the trophy.

They also prize the spears on the feet.

After hunting. Danny showed rne all of his turkey beards, which were hanging here and there on nails. That was when I came up with the idea of creating a turkey beard holder. (By the way, the turkey beards in the photo are Danny's, not mine!)
