Finally!! :turkey2:
I was working outside this afternoon and heard 3 different birds gobble on the cattle ranch next door where I hunt. :gobble: :gobble: :gobble:
Then in the last hour of light, 4 hens came walking through my yard, followed by this big strutter!!! The hens were on turkey time, as usual, and were scratching through the leaves as they wandered through the yard. Lover boy was quite content to follow them around strutting his stuff. :turkey:
When they were through scratching they walked off into the holler right in front of one of my game cams. They eventually went out of sight, and I watched the hens fly up to roost at the end of my driveway. A few minutes later, the gobbler flew up to roost nearby. I watched him fly up to a tree about 60 yards from my house, and I could see him from my couch. Then he strutted back and forth on the limb.
They're just this week breaking up out of their winter flocks. These are the first turkeys I've seen in the yard this year. I can't wait for the season to get here!!! Even though they're always safe in the yard.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20260316/5f19aca8bbc48622cb976bf71f0b4280.jpg)
