[yelpertom]

I shot a bearded hen for the opener with my bow and thought I did something pretty spectacular! But doesn't sound yo uncommon? Would u shoot a bearded hen? It has a 7 inch beard

I think every turkey hunter at some point wishes to shoot a bearded hen, even if it's out of spite because she messed up you morning.  Congrats.

Personally, taking any turkey via a bow is a trophy in itself!   As for bearded hen, I wouldn't, but my son did on his 2nd bird ever.  8 1/2 beard.  She now stands in the entryway.

Congrats, but not for me. I always wonder if she has a nest of eggs somewhere.
