The turkey population has exploded here, I hear them every morning in the woods, they're usually in one or more of the fields as well. I put up one of those shade frames last year, my wire saw them roosting on the frame. No pics.
In the early evening you hear a bunch of noise from them flying up into the pines to roost for the night.
Some farmers here are worried about disease or damaging crops, they don't seem to be affecting my grass. They are doing a pretty good job of picking through the cow pies.

Nice bird and that is some beautiful country you are hunting in. Do you call them in like we do around here?

We may only take toms here at this point, but with the population explosion, we are going to a fall hunt in addition to the spring hunt and soon to hunting hens as well.

If I could re-learn how to post pictures, I could show our proud son with the nice tom he got this spring.

We really look forward to getting a turkey permit if we are lucky enough to draw one. Being in the mountains in spring is a great way to enjoy life to the fullest. We called a tom into 40 yards and had some deer mess things up early in the morning that we got this bird. So we went looking for more birds and found this one. Ya'll ought'a see this country we hunt in september when the quakes are a'blaze of color. The red rimrock ledges and pink maples complete the perfect portrait. The country is loaded with indian ruins. It's truly a blessing to hike and ride in part of an amazing creation.(to me anyway) My motto is God only gives ya so many sunrise's and i'd like to see as many as i can packing a rifle,bow shotgun or a horseback! Very Happy
