I think they're chomping at the bit themselves for Spring!! The warmer temps over the weekend sure has me ready!!
I was plowing a customers driveway last week when I noticed some turkeys in the woods. Not that uncommon at this driveway. I had finished and turned around to leave when I looked threw my side mirror, this is what I saw.
I was surprised to see the adult toms gobbling, struting, and even chasing hens. They were so occupied that I got out of the truck and took the picture with my IPhone. Our season doesn't open until the 1st week in May. I've never seen them do this with snow on the ground and temps around 30. Maybe there wishing for an early spring too!
what goes around, comes around. (I sure do hope so)!!

well thats cool
and well I think many folks just don't know, but a turkey will gobble all yr, and strut too
they just do it a TON more in mating season
second seldom known fact about turkeys, hens can gobble to, just very few do it, don't believe me, look it up!, its a fact1
and over the past few yrs here where I am at, the mating has been starting earlier and eariler
global warming or what?? but last few yrs shed hunting in late feb/ mid march I been seeing and hearing them gobble there brains out and with flocks of hens, putting on major shows, even fighting with other hens
then come mid april, I am busting hens off nests
so I think spring is here to many turkeys
then again if you only got some once a yr, you might be jumping the gun sooner too LOL
I dont know Griz, but I know I am ready for spring....Got a sample this past weekend, then Big Holla came down to Ohio this past weekend, and brought that crappy Michigan weather with him! :) Come on Turkey and mushroom season!

I think we are all ready. I was out hunting groundhogs last Saturday. Saw a few while driving, but none while hunting.
I may be opinionated...but, my opinion is the only one that matters anyway.
