huntinsonovagun Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Saw this bearded hen on a buddy's lease of mine as I was driving by today. 350 yards out or so. Not a bad beard for a hen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntn4bucks Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Re: Bearded hen It's illegal to shoot bearded hens here in Alabama. The reg states "Gobblers Only". I've seen several bearded hens before and probably wouldn't shoot one even it it were legal. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Re: Bearded hen Hadnt ever seen a bearded hen here yet. Pretty sure TN regs are worded to say one bearded bird per day up to your limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James7xChamp3 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Re: Bearded hen I've seen a couple up here in Maine, but only 2-3". If I seen one with a good beard, it would be tempting to take her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
