    Well, this wasn’t exactly the trophy I envisioned when I started my season, but it’s unique. I shot this hen last night just before dark. She has an 8″ beard that is pretty full. I am considering getting her mounted. If you mounted a bearded hen, what kind of pose would you get? Any recommendations for a good turkey taxidermist in NW Wisconsin, or close to the cities?

    What’s with the bearded hens this year? Congrats on a great looking bearded hen though. I guess I would just have the hen mounted like she was on alert and looking around…that way you can really see the beard.

    I’ve never seen a hen with a beard that good. It’s pretty full as well, most of them are pretty thin. They’re all trophies in my book, definitely would be an interesting bird to get mounted!

    Congrats on your bird!
