Is it legal to shoot bearded hens in your state? Not ethics or would you do it. South Carolina does NOT allow hens of any description. We do not have a fall season.

Circus people would probally get pissed off.Seriously though In Va. we have a spring Gobbler season and a fall turkey season.Fall you can shoot a hen.

Here in Florida you can harvest either sex during archery and fall season, toms and bearded hens during the spring; although some WMA have their own regulations that override state regs.

No hens can be killed in Alabama.

I'm in sc too but I've heard that a few years ago you could shoot bearded hens in sc.. Out of curiosity, do you know if this is accurate?

You can shoot any bearded bird here. Last year filming a hunt I was concentrating on a gobbler and didn't catch the bearded hen until I played the video back. Here's some video of the hen.
