Seriously though Troy and Todd...I am curious. What makes the Wilcox County birds so tough? I Well here is my opinion. Wilcox county has always had turkeys. The old timers here used to claim there was a different species here. They referred to them as mossy head turkeys because they had feathers that extended higher up their head. I talked about that with a wildlife biologist at a NWTF banquet and he explained that those birds are simply the old pure wild turkeys that existed here before any restocking or cross breading with domestic stock took place. My father says that they used kill mature gobblers that would only weigh 13 pounds. To this day we kill mature birds on our land that weigh less than 17 pounds all the time. These turkeys aren't descended from one that was dumped out of a cage or ever lived on a farm. They are as wild as it gets and they have been hunted hard for a long time. Turkey hunting here is just as big as deer hunting. There is not only a lot of turkey hunters here but a lot of them that know what the hell they are doing. Stupid turkeys don't last long in Wilcox County. And the smart ones get fooled with a lot. The guys who consistently limit out around here (and that ain't me) are as good at turkey hunting as anyone on the continent. I have no doubt of that. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL!
