Afternoon Hunt - Liberty Lake

[tlbradford]

I hit the woods around 1:30 for a quick hunt.  Didn't hear anything talking, so I tried unsuccessfully to sneak in on some grouse.  They are just starting to drum, but it is pretty infrequent.  Anyway here are some photos.  I didn't realize one of the two turkeys I saw had a beard until I downloaded the photos.  He was a little guy anyway and would have gotten a pass.

by the looks of the pics if it was one of the 2 in the pics that had the beard it was probably a bearded hen. they are not super common but they are around. great pics

Yes, definitely a bearded hen.  I shouldn't have called it a "guy"
