here is the turkey i shot this morning. thought it was a super jake turned out to be a bearded hen. has a 6 inch beard.

Congrats on your bearded hen

thank you. i guess i should tell how i got her. i was headed down the road and seen a couple turkeys headed down the water about 300 yards off the road and not having a pair of glasses i couldn't tell what they were so i figured i would go after them anyways got down in the creek to where i thought they would be crawled up the bank and there they were about 10 yards from me i seen the beard on this one and shot it real fast got up to it and seen it was a hen but i will take it either way first turkey i have shot in about 7 years.

My Barber shot a bearded hen about the same as yours good job they are not very common I think,so that is a unique bird.

Congrats to you! I have been getting blanked all year.

Congrats to you on your bearded hen. I saw a bearded hen just before the season opened up for us up here. I have not saw it again though..
