I have some great pics of this bearded hen that I will take, given the chance. Here, they are legal. I would love to make a wingbone call and I believe that they really need a hen bone and a tom bone. This would help make that happen.

I don't know what has happened with photobucket, but when I resized my pics for message board size they were still like 216 kb...So I had to go smaller. I'll see if I can figure it out. Anyway, enjoy.

Had my hands around the neck of a bearded hen last yr! And she is going ont he wall - hope to get he back soon!

Was the 3rd one I have seen in my lifetime and so I took the shot!

Cool pic! Thats a heck of a beard for a hen!

That is cool. Last year in Kansas I saw three bearded hens in 3 days of hunting. Did not shoot any of them even though they are legal there.

I got one last year in Nebraska. Didn't get pics of her though.

my dads killed 3 in the past 5 years, none in the previous 25. theyre legal here in MO also.

I shot a bearded hen this past rifle season honestly thinkink that is was a tom. The beard was not all that thick but it was 8 1/2" long

Those are some sweet pics and I wouldn't of shot one either.

From what I understand they are still hens, lay eggs and raise poults.
