came up the railroad yesterday at about 6 p.m in butler co. and saw 3 strutters in a pasture in a triangle about 20-25 yrds apart in full strut,and one had a hen standing with him. about 45 mins. later saw a strutter following 2 hens in strut in montgomery co. whats the deal, late mating, just turkeys being turkeys or what? day after the season it was like you flipped a switch,turkeys just disappeared. havent hardly seen a bird in 2 weeks,now 4 in one afternoon.what say you?

Hens will renest after their first, or even second, nest attempt if it is destroyed (a good likelihood since only 50% of the nests laid into ever hatch!), so they will continue to breed till June of even July. I called up a gobbling bird in late June on year and have seen flightless (< 2 week old) poults in August. Still solidly into breeding season.
I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine

do you think there's a chance of a hen raising 2 broods in one spring? That would be a nice thought. I'm not educated enough to know if that happens, but that IS a nice thought.

I hope they all three have a heat stroke and die.

He said a half mile up the cove in the next field there were four more hens with no poults and three longbeards walking behind them in a full strut. I missed the rest of the story, where was this?

I am more interested in the coordinates of Jugheads turkey farm. Joker grew some good 'erns this year. its off of I565, got a high fence all the way around it with armed guards 24/7.

Sure would appreciate it if you you guys would knock-off all this talk about Jughead's turkey farm on a public forum - there are folks just trying to have a chance at some of the turkeys he and his guests deem not worthy of killing.
