But again I did not see 1 tom in the group.. Sure I can shoot a hen but have been trying to get a tom..
They tend to flock up this time of year, jakes & toms in one group, hens & poults in another. As far as where they went, that's always one of fall's great mysteries, but they do need to eat & roost, so they can't be too far away. Fall turkey's more of a feast or famine proposition than spring turkey.
