RE: Black Hills
We'll be out there that same general time period. It's hard to predict what phase the turkeys will be in in the hills. Weather has such an impact on them. Last time I went out the second week in May. The toms were terribly henned up. Often two or three toms with up to 40 hens in a group.
The guys ran into the same thing the end of April when they were out. Other years they weren't henned up at all. It's a crap shoot.
