I shot one a few years ago w/a 7.5" beard. It was neat but I will not do it again. Last year I shot a 2 year old tom w/no beard. That was also neat but I will not do that again either.

The first two turkeys I ever killed were bearded hens. Both had 8.5 inch beards and both beards were nearly as thick as an average gobbler's...much thicker than most of the bearded hen pix I have seen.
I didn't know either one of them was a hen at the time I shot. It probably wouldn't have mattered if I had known. I was wanting to kill me a turkey! Now that I have several gobblers under my belt, I would probably pass in the spring but shoot away in the fall.
