Here it’s somewhat different than a lot of places hunting for those big tom’s. It’s a challenge along with most every place. Our state biologists put transmitters on selected areas on toms and hens. But sticking with the toms a lot of them traveled 20 to 25 miles from where they were. The farthest one traveled a distance of 50 miles. Then back in late fall. The selected them at feeding stations and what wasn’t shot or survived the predators returned to the feeding stations for there winter feeding. With that being said it puzzles me on how the toms will hang around. Yes I understand that they will hang around long enough to breed the local hens and sometimes will take a group of hens with them. Either that perhaps push the hens to wherever they are going to. As stated I am not sure how they react in other areas except I don’t believe that to many toms react them same way when it comes down to holding them in any given area.. That’s about all I can add to it..
