RE: Bearded Hen?
Yep, looks like you've got a bearded hen there. I've only seen one that was clearly a bearded hen while hunting. I didn't shoot her though because of a comment I'd read on this forum the week prior. The guy who wrote the thread said he took a bearded hen and later regretted doing it because of the 17 eggs he found inside her when field dressing her. He realized that he took out more than just one bird when he killed her. I thought that was the right decision and held up on my only shot opportunity that season.
