I know what you’re thinking; “It’s Thursday, where be my turkey!?” Well, fear not, here they be.
This is a flock of males; I’m not sure yet when a male turkey goes from being a jake to a tom. Probably in the spring, when they break off to form their own flock of hens for the mating season. If you look closely you can see the beards on some of these birds -it’s that long bit of hair (yes, hair. I KNOW, weird, huh?) that sticks out from the turkey’s breast.
I practically trip on these bastards going back and forth about my duties. Come spring, when I go to hunt them, do you think they’ll be there? No. You watch, I’m telling you now, won’t be one in sight anywhere.
