Hunting in KY with my crossbow....
I saw a beautiful smoke phase hen this morning. First one I've ever seen other than the one Woodmaster killed in South Dakota and that was just a picture and a mount on the wall..
She was real grey with some dark feathers on her wing. Her tail looked fairly normal though. I glassed her at 150 yards and tried to see what was one her chest. There was a dark spot that kind of looked like a part in her feathers. I tried to make out if it was a beard or not. She turned sideways and I could not see any protusion.
She never came any closer for a better look. Of course I had left my camera in the triuck. Duh..
I'll have it with me from now on..
Hopefully I can get a better look before season is out and maybe she will have a small beard..
