I' m not sure how they feel about one another. I successfully took an 11pt that came in with several gobblers one year. If not for the turkeys I don' t know if I' d seen the buck to call him in. I saw the birds out of range and glassed them and notice the buck playing cat and mouse games but still traveled together. On several other occassions I' ve seen birds and bucks together....I feel they thrive off one another senses for security. Could that be the case?
