For most of Alabama, the preferred foods right before turkey season consist of “naturally occurring” piles of whole corn, scratch, feed wheat, milo, and grain sorghum that mysteriously show up every spring around March first. All are virtually guaranteed to make your resident birds relocate.

Well I have glassed several hundred acres every morning this week. Seen well over 125 birds Monday. Seen 0 Tuesday. Seen 10 in a pasture that the water was receding from today .Some club members still have cameras on corn fields no turkeys this week but a lot of deer. A lot still have horns.There has definitely been a shift in patterns this week. I haven’t listened yet but they have to be spending a lot more time in the timber what are they eating there? It is not anything they are being fed either Lots of bugs/inverts and vertebrates under the leaves this time of year. Also, on some of the drier west and south slopes there are still some acorns that arent rotten yet... but it is close.

Turkeys do not live in an open field 24/7 unless that’s about all they have… They have not hit the fields that they have been in everyday like clockwork. They haven’t been in them period. Zilch,nada. What I wandered about was what their diet was right now. My wife says I don’t make myself clear so maybe I didn’t. Ben Rodgers Lee used to say in his seminars that if you wanted to kill him you needed to be set up at the mill when he got paid
