    Jake or hen?

    Is this a bearded hen or a jake? I shot it thinking it was a bearded hen. Some of the guys on the lease are saying it is a jake. I haven't done very much turkey hunting but I believe this is a hen. What do you guys think?

                It's a hen 100%


                The guys on your lease don't know what they are talking about.

                      Thanks for confirming what I thought. I never claimed to be a turkey expert but thought I knew the difference between a jake and a hen.

                          Hens don't have spurs, where is the beard?

                            Here is how to tell...

                            You have to look at the breast of the birds, males will be solid black and hens have about a 1/4" if light brown on the tips of their breast feathers. Also if in a mixed group, there is the obvious size difference.
