How do you display your archery kill beards?

This year is my first year hunting turkeys with a bow. In the past I always have cut the brass off the shotgun shell I used to kill the turkey to display the beard. What do you guys do to display the beard of your archery killed birds?

that would be great I'd really like to see a picture of your plaque.

I have only taken birds with a shotgun...I take the shells that I shoot birds with and fill them 1/2 way up with Gorilla glue or epoxy and stick the beard in that...then mount the shell on a wooden trophy base with a little placque with the date and a memorable line from that hunt...like who was with me or something funny that happened. I am making one now for my buddy who called in a bird for me last year.

Very Nice. That's what I need did you make that yourself? If not where did you purchase it?

I can't take credit for coming up with this idea. Someone else on this forum, I believe, posted it a couple of years ago. At any rate, I just cut some old shafts to a desired length, fletch 'em, put a loop of leather shoe string up through it, thread the dried & cleaned spurs on the leather, pull the leather tight alongside the beard and hot glue. Then I trim the excess leather. It's really easy to do.
