Title: Gobblers strutting in MS
Post by: northms on February 09, 2023, 04:48:28 PM
Got a picture today of gobblers strutting shoulder to shoulder in north MS. Several hens in the foreground they're showing out for. Still have quite a ways to go but they're getting interested.  :turkey2:

We are still a month or more before the gobblers will think about "getting right" but they're at least starting to feel good and show out for the ladies. Also, settling the pecking order for breeding rights.

We should all know by now that toms gobble and strut all year long... This is nothing new, the only thing that changes is the frequency and purpose. Basic turkey biology 101.

Same here I'm south Alabama. But it's nothing new. It's like this every year.

They historically start getting frisky about now on pretty days . But days like today , cold / rainy make them re consider there actions .
