Beard display

I used to put each bird on a mount, and if from another state I would put the state cut out of wood over the fan base. Then I started putting beards and spurs from one season on a since fan plaque as seen on a few mounts. Now I just hand the beard and spurs off a ling string attached to the "limb" I have a gobbling Merriam mounted on. I have 35-37 beards hanging off that limb. I used to have a beard tree, but it took up too much room. I use the brass from a shotgun shell to hold the beard and then use a leather strip through the spurs and glue into primer hole.
Umm, I think you need to change your name to TurkeySniper. Holy cow!
