She...that's a bearded hen. A very wet bearded hen haha. Yea they are pitiful looking when wet.Notice wings still look good though. That's why they make such good fletching

Mickey you've been killing me. MO season opened 4/16 and this Fri, Sat and Sun I finally get to get out. Thanks for the motivation........

Looks like she's as mad as a wet bearded hen.

Nice beard for a hen, can ya shoot them in Ohio in the spring? We can in NY. Shawn

Yes she's legal Shawn but I'd personally be hesitant to shoot her in the spring. She may have a nest/clutch of eggs someplace and I'd hate to see it abandoned. Don't get me wrong, I have NO problem with anyone shooting ANY legal quarry, I'd just pass personally at this point in my life.I'm not so hung up on just killing something, and Krogers has Butterballs if I really want some turkey. Do enjoy chasing them though.

In the fall however she better not walk in front of me or I'll at least fling one at her.
