Bearded Hen!!!
went with a buddy to the deer woods this morning.didn't see anything,only a couple squirrles.
My buddy shot and I heard him on the radio , so I went to the camp , it was time to go anyway(had to come to work).
He had shot a bearded hen.she was full grown(I think 11 lbs.) had a 9" beard.
I have saw only three with a beard, I took one only 5" beard,and saw one more 3" beard. this one was as good as most gobblers.it was also fairly thick.most are real thin.
