Fightin' toms and cow checks out decoy


Recommended Posts

Hunted Wyoming this past week with no luck. Three birds were taken off the ranch the week before and the birds moved 1 mile down the valley to another ranch.

As I was driving by the ranch, toms were always struting within 70 yards of the road or so. On this one occasion two toms were trying to fight through a "woven-wire" fence. I watched them and videotaped then for 10 minutes. (I may try and upload footage). I took one still photo and got a lot of laughs from the situation. When I drove past 1 1/2 hours later they were still there trying to get at each other.

The other photo is of a cow checking out my decoy. The previous day, when there was snow on the ground the toms were feeding in the old hay fed to the cows, unfortunately it melted and the birds moved away.
