[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5332439, member: 10399"] Agree 100%. I should clarify my position. This is the intent of the rule, and without a doubt, there are game wardens who would cite you for shooting a gobbler with a beard so short it’s hidden by the plumage. But it’s a stupid rule, it’s poorly written, and I could beat the citation and draw attention to the stupidity of the rule in the process. But I’m a lawyer. I would enjoy going into court, holding up a short stubby beard, and asking if it is visible or invisible. If it could be seen in court, it is, by definition, a “visible beard.” If you’re not a lawyer, you might have to hire one or pay the citation so think about that before you pull the trigger. But if anyone shoots a bird matching this description in West TN, I’ll represent you pro bono 😉 [/QUOTE]
