Germain -

Turkeys will eat bugs until its too cold as a #1 food - come fall ANY seed in abundance becomes #1. My favorite example is a winter when the snow was very deep - the Turkeys came for miles to a patch of Burdocks ringing a farm pond near my house.

Turkeys turn on & off to several seed drops in my area. Here are the best examples:

Beech Nuts, Wild Cherry, Ash, Apples - When these seeds are availible in abundance - nothing can beat them for turkeys.

Come late Winter - its All about corn (and farmers that spread manure - if you don' t know what I mean - its just as well.) Dan' s right - it will be interesting to see if the sunflowers are still availible to turkeys as a winter food.
