That's either a bunch of bearded hens or some Jakes without red heads.

First turkey to the left is a bearded hen. The next 3 turkeys are Jakes.

Left is a bearded hen.  I had one come in on Sunday and got 5yds from me.  Wasn't expecting her and she caught me flinch..... She gone.  She had a nice thin long beard and the start of a second one above it about an inch long sticking straight out.  Was coolest thing I've seen turkey hunting so far this year.

:agreed:
The hen on the left is much smaller body size than the next 3. I thought the same thing when I looked at the pic.

She didn't show up until after season was closed, she must have read the rule book

I've noticed some of the bucks in my area read the regulations and season dates also. I wonder who's supplying these animals with this information. Must be them dag on squirrels
