Way to go !
-
Man , I guess I owe you an apology ! I learned more about turkey hens today than in the last 20 years or so of turkey hunting. Just when you think you know it all about something , you find out that you don't. That's why I usually give people the benefit of the doubt. Thanks for all your reply's/posts .
-
Congrats with your first bow killed turkey............no easy feat . I've never seen the blondish tip at the end of the beard as you described.
-
Come on............enough's enough.
-
Thanks.......maybe that's one reason why I never got one.
-
I'm in awe..........what else can I say ?
-
WOW.............That's pretty impressive WNY Bowhunter . Do you think multiple beards are hereditary or just appear in various parts of the state . Thanks for sharing those photos.
-
Damn that's strange....never knew this about hens before. Don't tell me you saw her strutting !!!!!!!!
-
Way to go.....especially staying out so late in the morning !
-
Ballpark price about $800.00
-
What beard are you talking about ? Yours or the turkeys ? Lol...thanks
-
Now you know why I asked if anyone was lucky ! In a treestand yet and no clue of what you were doing ? If you don't mind me asking.....what kind of mount did you have done ? Strutting , roosted , standing... etc ?
-
Man that's awesome. First bird you ever shoot has a double beard...and impressive beards to boot !!!
-
I was wondering if anyone was lucky enough to have shot a gobbler that had more than one beard. I haven't been fortunate yet but hoping someday I will.
-
I was just wondering if the bearded hen you shot had any spurs ?
-
With the risk of sounding ignorant , is that a photo of a banded turkey released by the DEC at one point. That's pretty cool.
-
I know what you mean. Throw in striper fishing and yard work in the mix.
-
Thanks for the explanations. You guys were exactly right concerning the different color breast feathers.I didn't even notice them in the photo. I didn't realize a hens head could flush colors when excited...thanks for the info. Learn something new every day !
-
Are you sure that's a hen in the photo ? I only ask because the bearded hen I saw didn't have the red,white and blue head.

By the way , how do play golf and baseball with a " severely separated shoulder " ?
-
If physical therapy doesn't help , I would suggest surgery. I had a dislocated shoulder when I was playing football and had a stainless steel pin inserted to stop it from " popping out ". Eventually , I needed another surgery after ripping a tendon in my shoulder. Even though I'm capable of using a compound bow , do you think I would qualify using a crossbow in Connecticut during archery season ?
-
You don't know what your missing. You can always golf or play baseball after 12 noon.
-
I've seen them at Five Point Correctional Facility ( from the outside ) .
-
Good point ants !
-
Maybe try some super soft purring ? If you hear hens, how about imitating the calls the hens are making ? If you piss off the boss hen , sometimes she will come to your call followed by a gobbler. Very frustrating to say the least.
