I got this picture on my Cuddeback today when i went out to check it. I was wondering if this was a bearded hen or not? Sure doesn't look like a tom to me or a jake for that matter! What do you think? Picture may be a little blurry because i zoomed in ALOT.

Thatshard to say the pic. is bad blurry

It's possible. A guy at my hunt club saw one and I think my grandpa shot one too. I think they are legal to shoot in spring gobbler since the rulebook says that you can only shoot bearded turkeys. It doesn't say that it has to be a male.

Sure looks like a bearded hen

Looks like a hen to me. I have heard of several people talking about seeing one but I have never seen one.

I say its a hen. It has no snoot... Ive seen quite a few bearded hens. My buddy has 2 hens with beards. Both are from different broods...

I JUST HAPPEN TO SEE ONE TODAY. IT WALKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE . SHE HAD ABOUT A 4 IN BEARD.

The pic is pretty blury so its hard to say for sure, but it looks like a hen to me.

hen all the way,there not to rare here in my area, one like to have went threw my window shield last weeknear ft. rucker al.

Yes it is a bearded hen.

If you look at the lower part of the neck there is no large Crunkles or waddles as most call them. Gobblers even when not in breading form have large crunkles. Good pic ...BT
