Turkeys starting to move
I noticed in the last week the turkeys have been moving alot more than usual.I heard some hens out on an Island in the swamp last Sunday.Sounded like they were fighting.I'm thinking they are establishing pecking orders.
Today I saw a group of 8 longbeards together.One guy I know swears he saw a Tom strutting last week,when temps were near 80 here.I'd have to see it to believe it,but I have seen strutting in early Feb. before around here,but gobbling doesn't get good until March.Anyone else noticing increased turkey activity?

RE: Turkeys starting to move
I concur. The flocks around here are moving down from the oak forests and canyons, and are starting to call. I was out tractoring the other day, and when I shut the engine off, I heard several Toms throating out their opinion. Guess I will have to start scouting, and switching my field points on my arrows to my broadheads.
