I'm in Tennessee and shot my first ever bearded hen. Around 9AM yesterday we saw her and three other hens across a field and decided to put the sneak on up a little rocky branch followed by a typical march up a massive grassy hill. Full on Indian mode, tiptoes and crouch walking. She was in half strut when I jumped up from behind some sage grass. The little tranny jumped in the air like a kite taking off in a 20mph gust of wind, and I folded her with the Longbeard #5s at 47 steps. Her beard was 7.5" which was pretty cool. Only weighed about 16lb. Anybody else seen the bearded jennys running around?
Will post pic later.

I see them a lot and they are fairly common.
I took a video of one jumping a hen decoy opening week of Bama season.
