It seems to me that most( don't know about ALL ) gobblers are lookin for love come spring. I've also heard a lot of jealous sounding hens interrupting and getting between me and those gobblers. I guess if it is instinctive for them to nest, then maybe it follows that it's also instinctive to want to mate. But then, If female turkeys are anything like female people, no man will ever figure them out for sure!!:-)
