I had 27 turkeys walking right beside me yesterday while visiting a friends house.. The biggest one only had about a 5 or 6 inch beard. There was quite a few jakes in the group as well. While I was talking to my friend the turkeys came up to about 15 feet from me.. LOL That is because they are feeding them and the snow even though it is not very deep is keeping them coming in. They know I do not hunt that area so they are safe from me any ways.. But, then again when they start breeding none will be found around that area any ways..
