Bearded means bearded. Just like antler less means antler less. There are on some occasions that the wrong sex will meet the criteria they are trying to have harvested so that is why it doesn't say female or male

If you can make it out in the scope of your .17 HMR at 12 power at 160 yards, then it's a beard... :-)

If it has a beard then it's bearded, therefor you can shoot it.
