Does anyone have a thriving wild turkey population to share with a traveling turkey hunter?
We have a bunch but between me and my neighbors there like pets. Many very old toms with about 10inch beards. We also have 2 bearded hens
The Toms must be almost ready to start struttin' and gobblin'. They are here. Haven't heard any gobbling activity yet but I always do during "sugaring" season. I harvested a bearded hen once that actually gobbled at my calls. Strange.
Wish i could help you out turkeys around this area seem to be dwindling. I've seen 2 decent Toms and 3 Jakes. Nothing like years past though wasn't nothing to see at 6 or more Toms in the valley fields trying to catch an eye of a lady. Must be a food or predator thing seems like the grouse have suffered too since the coyotes came here.
Thanks any way. Turkey numbers are dropping a little here too.
