When two rival turkey gangs meet in the hood!

[WAGinVA]

At the risk of being branded a liar...  Three years ago I was running 2 bird dogs in central VA quail hunting in December and kept hearing a weird noise in some mature pines that had recently been burned.  At first I thought it was someone grading a gravel road but there was no road in that direction.  I walked up the edge of a 3 year old cutover and the mature burned pines towards the noise and both dogs who were wearing beeper collars came back to heal.  Both of these dogs are 400-600 yard dogs and are very bold.  They walked with me at heal with both beeper collars going over a hill and there were 20-30 gobblers of all sizes in the mature pines fighting just like your video.  I walked close enough to have killed several birds before they flushed.  When they did flush some set in trees close enough to kill.  Remember that this is all in the company of two setters with beeper collars beeping every second.  Went back to the same area the first day of spring season the following spring and did not hear a peep!!

This is worth a bump....better than National Geographic.  Just awesome sparring and trash talking!

Only family bickers and scraps like that - they gotta all be related.

Very cool video!

Where you able to take a bird out of that pack???  Seems like that would have been a good scenario to gobble at them, or for some "fighting-purrs," or both...  Those birds were "worked up" for sure...

These birds were only interested in each other for some reason. We tried doing aggressive fighting purrs, etc. and they would gobble but once the winning group cleared the field they took their hens away. It all ended good because we had different birds come back later and we tagged out with 4 birds in 3 days.

I've never seen turkeys fight.Thats really cool.I have seen pheasant fight, and geese are always chasing each other around for some reason in the spring.
