Scouting For Wild Turkeys on March 12 - Two Gobblers show off for a group of hens.
March 12 (Afternoon): Two Gobblers show off for a group of hens.
When I first saw these wild turkeys they were in a wheat field. They were 400 yards away. I stopped my truck and used the woods on the edge of the field for concealment to work my way down to them. They co-operated very nicely, the flock of hens moved over to my side of the field. Two adult gobblers stayed out in the field and put on a show for the hens. They strutted a bunch but they never gobbled. I got pretty close to the hens at one point (the last picture). Daylight began to fade and I stopped following the birds. By the time I got back to my truck it was dark. Spring turkey season is just around the corner. (Click on the thumbnails to see the larger pictures.)
