Turkey's in NY...
I must say that I have seen a 100% increase in the amount of turkey's i have seen in NY in the past two days. In this timeframe, I think I've seen 3 redheads, and easily 30-40 hens. What's wierd is, most the hens were solo, yesterday alone I witnessed 5 different hens walking around alone on my College Campus...could be a good sign come monday
Anyone else in NY seeing birds?
Ps, I havnt heard a gobble yet!

Last October while bow hunting Otis Pike I walked out on about 20 birds feeding in the field where I walked in. I was like 60 yards away, and watched them for 10 minutes. Once I started walking out, they shuffled back into the tree line. I've seen them off the William Floyed Parkway a few times too.. Newday did a story on the turkeys on LI, and there are several flocks. They estimated 3-5K bird on LI, but said they are spreading slow due to the distances between the land parcels they occupy.
