WVbowhunter17 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I saw a group of about 12 long beards about a couple o weeks ago and a few of them were strutting, is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpzenith Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Perfectly normal and you might even hear some gobbling at other times of the year. I wouldn't be surprised if the gobblers would try to breed the hens if they would allow it, but that's not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I have seen gobblers strut nearly every month of the year. One fall morning in Kansas in their Muzzleloader Deer season a thunder storm was coming the the turkeys started gobbling on roost. They gobbled at a fire siren, truck backup beeper and a train whistle. I finally decided to head to the truck not wanting to get wet and as I got into my truck those birds had gobbled 36 times. I have seen them strutting in nearly every month. I think it is a dominance thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Once while squirrel hunting one fall morning, I heard a turkey gobble...pretty neat especially in the fall. That was so long ago, back during the first few years of my hunting career and getting up before sunrise was easier,lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Twice this fall I called in a group of turkeys from 200 yards to within easy bow range of my blind with just my mouth during archery deer season. I got the boss hen all worked up and the conversation between the two of us got one of the jakes to strut (needless to say he got some weird looks from the rest of the flock and he quickly acted like nothing had happened ). That was pretty cool and that was just with my mouth (no diaphram). Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 On December 20th my cousin and I were out with the muzzleloaders and we watched two jakes facing off. They were just trying to push each other chest to chest the whole time. I asked myself what they were fighting about. I'm still seeing new stuff I've never seen before.

Probably "super jakes" (1.5 year olds) settling the pecking order ahead of spring. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
