Hens
 

This maybe kinda of a dumb question, but I'm a newbie. Do you shoot hens? Or is it even legal to shoot them. I've never seen anyone shoot a hen on t.v so I was wondering.

Here in NH it's says our bag limit is "1 bearded bird or male turkey" in the Spring so legally to can! as long as it's got a beard. In the Fall you can take either sex but with the bow only.

I've seen a lot of bearded hens running around the areas I hunt in but have yet to see one while hunting.

Our state of Wisconsin allows the harvest of hens during the fall season, but during the spring, its only turkeys with a beard. so technically you could shoot a bearded hen. but for the most part, no shooting hens in the spring
