We just got back from Kansas and my dad killed this bearded hen with spurs. He saw her two days before, and noticed she had some spurs, so he shot her on the last day of the hunt. Spurs were 5/8 and 3/8. Anyone ever saw a hen with spurs and not little bumps?

New to me, congrats!
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.

That is one confused little lady. The taxi would be getting some business from me if it was mine.
Hunt with your children today and you won't have to hunt for them tomorrow.

Never saw one with spurs, but I saw a pic once of one that had "tom" plumage and a beard.  Biologist said in all likely hood it was bi-gender.

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.

It would have taken one heck of a taxi. to put her back together. He held low because she was so close and the hevi 7s ripped her apart. The cape is already drying though so it will be on his wall shortly.
