Snappers right, the one with hens is dominant. He's just meaner, doesn't mean he's bigger! I know some people like to shoot the strutter if there's more than one bird together in hopes he's got the hooks, and SOMETIMES that's the case. I usually shoot the one in range first, if their all longbeards. If I were in your shoes, I'd hunt the lone bird. If he's ready, he'll come runnin to a hen if he thinks the other dudes not around. Then go chase the lady's man! I'd rather hunt a lone gobbler any day!
