Title: Turkeys Every Morning....
Post by: bearpaw on March 21, 2012, 12:39:25 PM: We have been enjoying watching these birds most mornings all winter. There is a group of eight jakes that sticks together, sometimes they are with hens, sometimes just the jakes. A tom came in and tried to mix with the hens, those 8 jakes all ganged up on him and ran him off my property, I am still laughing at that. He was over at the neighbors gobbling up a storm after the jakes came back. :chuckle:

Actually, I don't want to shoot any of the jakes if we can help it, I'd rather see them get full fans, but that tom could be in trouble. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Here's a couple from behind the house last year. :tup:

You still guiding on Juanita's & Gary's place (we use to hunt it before you leased it --- we've been wondering how is she doing?
