Only started hunting Eastern gobblers last fall. These are my first two turkeys ever. The hen taken last fall on a walk and stalk. The tom taken this spring calling in the ghillie suit parked at the base of a big old maple tree. Both taken off the same property so they may have actually known each other. ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48236571066_eff5c15953_k.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48236574736_28d48b1b5f_k.jpg)

I have a problem shooting hens, just think of all the future offspring you are killing! Just for a "display"!

okiehuntr I guess he doesn't have the same problem....neither do I.... I know places with hundreds of birds in a single flock….

That’s a really nice display and I remember the write up from this spring. I have a problem shooting hens, just think of all the future offspring you are killing! Just for a "display"!
okiehuntr Well I don’t think she was able to reproduce all by herself so by using your logic the Tom shouldn’t have been taken either.

very nice! Are you going to leave it there or put it up somewhere. Does it mount up somewhere-Seems like it takes a lot or real estate to sit flat?

Guess I'm the only hunter with a problem shooting hen turkeys, if my circle of friends and hunting buddies found out I shot a hen on purpose would ostracise me from the groups!!! ANYWAY, thankfully its illegal to harvest a hen in oklahoma!!! I'm hearing a lot pretty lame reasons to shoot one. okiehuntr

Farmers around here can actually get cull permits to kill a whack of them if they can show significant crop damage. Stalking in on a wily hen in the fall that can't be called in is far more challenging than hunting Toms in breeding season.
