Bearded Hen

[jimbar]

Is it legal to kill a bearded hen in Georgia? I've searched on here and in the regulations and all I can find in the regs is that there is a 3 gobbler limit.

Gobblers only. No hens bearded or otherwise.

No its not legal to shoot a hen. There is no open season for hen turkeys in Georgia

I used all 3 tags last season on bearded hens. Hen meat is tender.

There is a turkey on my land I've seen several times that has a long skinny beard but has a head like a hen. How do you know for sure what sex it is? Maybe its a tom with a hen head.

Maybe she identifies as a Tom and she roosts in the gobbler tree. She's the one on the lowest hanging branch trying to fit in while the gobblers huddle together and cluck about her.

Sign of the times. Transgender turkey woods!

Just need to explain it good to Mr. Green Jeans.

I think we should be able to kill any turkey with a beard as long a they are feeling like a Tom that day. Kinda like the bathrooms at target.
