The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

Thanks for the kind words fellas. I'm happy I chose to take her. I'm not gonna lie, lots of thoughts were going through my head when I was making the decision to take her or not. She'll be good eating for sure.

That would make an awesome mount! They are kinda rare so it's a trophy for sure.
Congrats on a great bird!

I always say that if its legal and ethical, and you want the bird, go ahead and shoot it!! I've had the opportunity to kill several bearded hens, but every time I've been in a place that didn't allow it. Congrats on your bird!! :icon_thumright:

Nice!  I too once shot a bearded hen awhile back when I used to hunt turkeys in the fall.  Too busy chasing bucks and ducks in the fall so I don't hunt turkey in the fall anymore.  Anyway, I too was hesitant, but decided to take her.  I figured it would be the only time I would do so.  Congrats.

Nothing wrong with taking out a bearded hen.  Save those wing bones for a call.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
