Default RE: Would you shoot it???

She was out in the feild again today with 4 other hens. I have noticed, I can veiw her at any time during the day by just driveing around the feilds and glassing from the road. However the other hens dissapear most of the day and come out only periodically. I don't think she has a nest? But it would not bother me if she did. I don't think its cruel to let a couple eggs go bad. We have too many turkeys anyway. The population seems to be getting out of hand in this area. I glass and film turkeys alot.. all year. This is only the second bearded hen I have ever seen, after looking at hundreds. Maybe they are more prevalent in other areas, or maybe when guys are seeing several at once they are sisters from the same hatch. For me, I would definately consider it a trophy. I would full mount it and put it next to a Tom mounted.
