Thanks everyone.. I never realized that they would stay back during the breeding season. Normally I find the birds out along the fields. I also find them back maybe 50 to 75 yards. However this is a first for me at least.. So it had taken me by surprise. This area is all small softwood trees right now with a pile of tops laying around. Perhaps they are eating the bugs from the decaying wood. I will be keeping an eye on this spot a little later on. I have a blind up where some turkeys come out of the woods onto a dirt road and field. Our season had just opened up so it will give me time to check it out better later in the week..
