Do turkeys still breed this late?
I live in Md on the eastern shore. For two days in a row, about 500 yards from my front door, a huge gobbler has been strutting with a hen in a very low soybean field. I glassed them this am and shes does not appear to have any poults. Does anybody know about this? Just curious.

Hoffman's right about non-breeding hens, but it also might be a renest, or who knows..??.. Some breed later than others...I've seen poults in late October the size of pheasants, so some breeding can take place VERY late... It ain't like they're on a schedule....
