I was driving around up on the pipeline looking for turkeys. I saw a jake with three hens. Now the jake had what looked to be half his tail feathers broken in half. The were dragging on the ground behind him. No doubt it is from being in fights with other toms or other jakes. But, what gives? He was with like I stated three hens. Father up the road maybe around six miles or so a large bearded tom ran across the road. Now this tom was not with a single hen or any other turkey. I couldn't get out and get a shot at the tom as he run into an old cutting that is growing up. This road runs between a powerline and the pipeline so it gives you plenty of view on what is coming up a head for the most part. So tell me why the tom was alone and the beat up jake was with hens? It just puzzles me that is all.
