RE: When, What and Why?
Swamp has led on to one of the best tips thereare to turkey hunting, and that is the scratchings ofa hen when feeding. The actual cadence of scratching is known as 1-3-2. One scratch, followed by three scratches with the other foot, followed by two scratches with the first foot. Most, but not all turkeys start the cadence with their left foot.
I agree...if you have a turkey gobble to your scratching in the leaves..be ready,'cause most likly he'll be heading you're way.
