RE: Another Newby Question?
I know here in Michigan where I hunt , the only way you can take a hen is if she has a beard.
The rules and regulationsclearly state ( one bearded bird per license ) with that being said , it can be a hen or a tom.
As for the ratio , we have more hens than toms in the area I hunt , but thats a good thing cause the toms will be looking for all the hens he can find.
