Turkeys up close

[ohiohntr]

Turkey season here starts in a couple more weeks.

I am getting pretty excited. I have seen about 7 different toms strutting. Here are a few pictures of some that walked right in front of the trail camera.

I have a small plot in the woods behind my house. It is the only real open area that is surrounded by hundreds of acres of woods. The turkeys seem to flock there and dust themselves in the dirt and strut.

Here are a couple toms and what looks like a bearded hen.

What are you putting down for feed??

 

[ohiohntr]

I actually haven't put out any feed. I did rake in some no till plot seed about 3 weeks ago but between the squirrels and birds there is nothing left. I don't know why they still come in every day. I do see them dusting themselves quite often. Being the only open spot in several hundred acres of woods, they just seem to congregate there and strut around

Hey bud,

I'm from Az. and am no expert on turkeys.

Those pictures you have shown us, look like the toms have big beards.

My question is this, are those in fact, large/long beards?
If not what does it take to " make the book " so to speak.

Thanks,

Steve Cheuvront
