Lots of these where I hunt

[Knothead]

I wonder if they have a complex/identification issues ?

We seem to see more and more of these every year. Property owner asked us not to shoot bearded hens because their eggs are the ones that hatch Tom's that sport multiple beards. . Never heard that one before. Have you? I think that's a bit of a stretch.

That's a jake, not a bearded hen.

As already noted, that's a Jake. And no, bearded hens don't automatically spawn multi bearded toms.

Could be. We do have lots of bearded hens though. LOTS!

I saw a bearded hen the other day driving down the road. They should be protected IMO.

As for this one being a jake I'm not sure. Body looks awfully small but could be.

Looks jakey to me, but I'm no expert by any means. To eliminate confusion I wouldn't shoot either. Just me though.

Identifies as non-binary. Turkeys gotta be woke too.

Looks like a hen to me but nonetheless , I pass on bearded hens and jakes. I had 3 jakes walk almost to the end of my gun barrel last week. Never knew I was anywhere around. Kinda neat to watch them up close and personal.
