Never bothered to have anything scored for the books.I've taken some quality animals,just never bothered. But I do  love seeing some of the absolutley awesome animals taken in N.Y. i think the coolest thing I have seen ,besides the bearded hens i've shot. Is my buddies ol boss fall hen with spurs. Very rare.

Part of a fall triple.

I took one he took two,in a tioga county.

These are the longest I have seen on a hen. They are strange. They seem not attached to the leg bone. To the touch, they move very easy. She led the whole flock in. I hit her with kee-kee's and boss hen cutts. When she rounded the bend She perked up and knew somethin wasn't stirrin the Kool aid. Don't wanna take away or hyjack. Get your birds scored if ya wanna. Y never know?

Does the hen with spurs also have a beard?  The 3 hens you mentioned, what is the breakdown- beards-spurs?  This could be another category for the project

[TH41]

No she didn't have a beard. The other's were typical. I took a bearded hen I think a week or so later. It was quite a different fall season. My hen had nubs where it looked like spurs were starting. She was an old hen for sure.

I haven't seen them yet this year. But I do know of 3 hens in two areas I hunt that have beards. The longest one is around 7 inches.
