Default Food in thier crawl, in your area??

Just curious what most of you find in the (crawl) when you dress your turkeysout (i know i probably spelled that wrong) Seems the big thing in my area is snails, i have found them completly loaded with whole snails but sometimes grasshoppers, and weed seeds. just curious!!

turkeys will eat a wide variety of foods. from insects and stuff like that to plants and nuts etc. the only one i rember had corn in it. funny, it was spring and no fields around. only 2 houses around. 1 a couple hundred yards...i dont think they feed them...and another about 1/2 mile. i dont know if they feed them. ive walked alot of the area many many times and never found illegal baiting sites or trail cam spots or anything. i dont know where he found the corn...wierd i dont remember any others...i usually dont make it a big deal and dig through...grouse i will dig through and ID everything...gives me a good idea of where to find more..
