Title: 5-13-13 IL bearded hen
Post by: Pacificcooler on May 13, 2013, 03:41:14 PM
Pretty exited about this bird. Don't think I could be any luckier. Last year was my first year hunting turkey and killed a nice Tom with a bow. Now this 7" bearded hen. She might have to go next to last years bird!!

Nice bird. I passed up a bearded hen a few yrs back at 7 yds.

Just me but I'd rather not take a hen in NY in may. Most are already on eggs.

Could have shot two of them last year, but was never inclined to do so.

Very cool.  They would look good side by side!
