Turkey question

[LA man]

LB FOR ME, I WAS SEEING A BH BUT SHE HASNT BEEN BACK FOR 2-3 WEEKS NOW

Longbeard. no hens.

i'd shoot the LB but have killed one BH passed on couple only cause a LB was just out of range at that time have no problem with killing hen when i see 100 at a time at my place during deer season predators will do way more damage than i will ever do

 

[bvoss]

I'd shoot the Long beard every time. I've killed a bearded hen, it was cool, but nothing compared to the read heads. :crazy:

 

[showmehorns]

I've been in the situation, and it was easy. I always thought I wanted to kill a BH until I had the chance to do so. Something about that bright blue head, full fan and the way he talks gravitates the business end of my weapon toward the gobbler.

 

[megalomaniac]

We'd have to have a population 10x greater than what we have now before I ever consider shooting a hen in the spring or fall.

As far as the bearded hen goes, heck, they're 1/4 the thickness of a gobbler and rarely longer than 8". Why in the heck would you want to shoot that ratty thing?

 

[stik]

No hen for me. I hen dead equals 6-18 turkeys dead.

all the more reason for me to shoot one. i want them things gone!!

You don't turkey hunt stik? I'd probably shoot the hen and it wouldn't put a nick in their population, we are so overloaded with birds we need hen tags Lol!

i turkey hunt a little but most times i go i end up wishing i had gone crappie fishing instead. i just hate turkeys in general and want the satisfaction of killing one. i would love to see them eradicated from my hunting area(s).
