A gobbler mate with an imaginary hen? My boy killed one today. He was on a logging road in full strut for a good 45 minutes. Every once in a while, I think 5 times, he would break strut and act like he was mounting a hen. He would drop his wing feathers down just like mounting one and breed the air. I have asked everyone I know that turkey hunts and no one has ever seen this. Figure if anyone has it would be you guys on here.
I've seen a lot of things, but not that. I have a pet gobbler and a pet hen. Yesterday I brought a bird I killed in, and here comes my gobbler in full strut (all 7 pounds of him) he walks up to my bird and I'm expecting him to jump on him and show how tough he is by whooping a dead turkey, boy was I ever wrong. He climbed up on him and went to town. The fact it was another gobbler was bad enough, but he was also at the wrong end up on his head. gives whole new meaning to the word, well never mind.
My ol lady kicked him off there, and he flogged her and went back for more, she got a fiberglass rod about an inch across and 3 foot long and knocked his azz off him again. This played out about 10 more times over the next few minutes. Finally I had to put the bird up cuz he wouldn't even let me get a couple pics with my bird..
