A record by a beard hair (or feather)? The story of a gobbler to remember

New York Outdoor News editor Dan Ladd shot this double-bearded turkey while hunting May 2, 2023 in Warren County, N.Y. One hair on the bird's beard measured 14.50 inches, and another measured 13.75 inches, but both fell out not long after the measuring process. That has created some debate on if the bird could be officially certified in the state record books through the NWTF. (Contributed photo courtesy of Dan Ladd)
Every once in a while a turkey hunt goes exactly as you want it to. That’s what happened on May 2, the morning I bagged what is perhaps my best spring gobbler to date. The hunt took place in a grassy clearing on the side of a mountain near my home in the southeastern Adirondacks. This location, which is in Warren County, has been a consistent mature gobbler producer over the years and some scouting just ahead of the season revealed that it might be again.
