I've seen turkeys all week driving around Western Maryland for work. Yesterday set the record so far with 113 birds. There were at least seven flocks with 15+ birds, so that's the reason numbers were so high. One flock even had 23 birds, 1 tom and 22 hens. The rest of the flocks were mixes of hens, jakes, and longbeards alike. Then we saw several groups of 2-3 hens. Only two gobblers were milling about on their own, and they were the two largest birds we saw all day. I'm guessing this means the big flocks here haven't really started breaking up yet, possibly because of our late spring. Several of the flocks had one or two birds strutting and while the truck was parked for lunch, there was one bird nearby us that wouldn't stop gobbling. So action must be getting ready to pick up, but not quite there yet. Opener is still two weeks away up here, so maybe that's a good thing. Glad I'm seeing so many hens though. Didn't see too many hens last year.
