used a owl call which made a real owl hoot causing a tom to gobble in the fall.
all i am trying to say is can toms and hens be in the same flock in the fall. i'm talking late fall. and can a owl hoot cause a tom to gobble in the fall like at a little before or after sunrise?
i had someone in the chat "Ridge Runner" say all this was not "real life"
thanks guys
Danny,
In the late fall the winter groups of family flocks and gobbler flocks can mingle in ther same feild feeding. Remember gobbler flocks are very small to the hen and poult flocks so there would not be a large number of gobblers in the feild. so the answer is yes they will eat together in the same field...
As for the owl calling shock gobbling a gobber in the fall, I would have to say on a very rare occation a gobber may gobbe back to an owl call but the chances are very small so I would have to say that it is seldom unheard of....
