Title: Ever Had a Hen Fan out And Strut
Post by: buckcanyonlodge on April 05, 2013, 09:29:53 AM: This hen kept herself between the gobbler and all the other hens. Kinds like saying " Stay away form my man"

Now I wish you would have asked the question before you posted the pictures to see if any real loud mouths would tell you you are crazy. :chuckle:

Cool pic, thx for sharing.

Post by: buckcanyonlodge on April 07, 2013, 08:12:02 AM: I have even heard them gobble! Not a big booming gobble but still a gobble.

Post by: ChadH on April 10, 2013, 11:46:23 PM: You may have seen this video before, but it is one of the COOLEST pieces of footage I've ever seen. A whole bunch of Goulds hens showing dominance around a couple DSD decoys. Check out the hen at around 3 minutes in. Just really, really cool.... Also, some great sounds to work on. Practice your mouth calls until you sound like these girls.

Post by: boneaddict on April 11, 2013, 09:58:44 AM: I've had old laying hens grow spurs and a comb and start crowing. It certainyl could be a hormonal thing. I'd imagine turkeys could easily be the same

Post by: boneaddict on April 11, 2013, 09:59:47 AM: come to think about it, I had a female pheasant start growing male plummage as well......

Post by: lokidog on April 11, 2013, 10:01:04 AM: Saw one out here strut at a hen decoy as she led the gobbler in, missed him though with my bow.

Post by: The Gobble-stopper on April 11, 2013, 02:37:23 PM: Seen hens in the tree strutting too! And had a hen on a next one day, near where I set up, each day she got off the nest, she would make a broken gobble like a jake. Not sure what she was doing. Only thing I could think of, was trying to keep the other toms in the area from coming around and breaking up her nest.??
