Default Close to a Turkey

I went out to look at an acerage for sale today and the wierdest thing happend. I got out of the car and looked over toward the barn and this Tom was running right at me! It was puffed up about half way. When it got just a few feet from me it went on full strut. I walked to the front of the house. There were two hens with him. He came up 3 feet from me and started gobbling. Well I looked around and there was two toms and two hens there. They were all tame obviously but one tom and one hen were tamed Eastern Wild Turkeys. They other two were domestic birds. Even thought they were tame, it was cool to be that close to one. And to have it be gobbling 3 feet from me was cool. I couldn't quiet pet it. It would back off if I tried but it stayed 3-4 feet from me, on full strut, pacing back and forth and turning its fan toward me. It was pretty cool!
