THIRTEEN year old Noah Lemperes of Becker shot a turkey last week. He was surprised to find that the Tom had 5 beards, making it a rare trophy. The turkey weighed just over 22 lbs, with just over 1” spurs. The longest of the 5 beards measured 9.5”, while the shortest of the beards measured 4”. Total length of all beards combined comes to about 29.25” which should land it safely in the top 5 in MN ever registered, according to NWTF scoring. This was the second Tom turkey of Noah’s career, and he’s currently talking his parents into a mount of the bird. (Submitted Photo).
