I'm thinking he got froze out of mating- there are two older Tom's here he was following around last year, now he's all on his own and just eating his feelings.

This guy is roaming around daily so who knows how long it will survive.

Cool!
Nice Jap maple. Damn deer bonsai mine the second it blooms.
Cool to see the kits playing if you get the chance; been a couple years since I've seen them here but we have them. A two+ litter that survives is a neat thing to see in the woods around the property- they like to wrassle.

In my usual spot Ive seen them Once by now they should be all over...and usually are....not sure what the deal is. I will check with post office to see if they left a forwarding address as took me a long time to find them at this spot. May have to scout this weekend more to try and be prepared.

Still got the hen hanging out here
My freaking wife was feeding it Martins potato chips the other day....I guess its a pet now.
I would put her in our turkey pen but I dont know if shes healthy and I dont want to infect my heritage birds.
She seems healthy but who knows.

I agree I wouldn’t. She might be physically healthy but not mentally.
Also some one else may have raised her up from a chick as a wild turkey and she escaped.
I’ve seen a bird like that and come to find out later it was some ones pet. I was at a friends property and this “wild” turkey came up to use and we were all like what the hell. My friend was calling back and forth without a call just his mouth and we were all like this is amazing this wild bird just walked up to us and started talking to my buddies dad. About 15-20 went by then he said it does look like a wild bird but it’s the guy up the roads. I don’t know where he got it from.
If you keep it around it will possibly get eaten by a coyote if it has no protection. Does it fly up and roost at night at least?
It has great protection......our dogs.
No clue where she goes at night.
I believe shes wild...this isnt rare for turkeys to do....as shown with 2 other members here having the same thing happening.
Turkeys are odd.

Wind finally stopped. I sat out this morning and not a single gobbler. Hoping they were just shaken from yesterday's blow. I'm going to hike around a stand of pines later, look for poop and see if they're even still in the area. They love roosting in the pines. Praying for good weather for opening.

The remnants of my self induced haircut finally blew away.

Speaking of hair ..... our Husky produces tumble weeds daily. I've gotten so bored I find myself staring at them as they methodically drift across the floor.
I surrendered the vacuum ...... it is almost pointless.
Im often shaken after a blow.

Be careful not to push them this close to May 1st. Also lots of rain by me so not sure the turds would hold up to the rain we had this past few days. Maybe you had less precipitation than me?
Good luck locating them. Maybe they all got laid already and are now being quiet. J/K

I should find a saiga 12 and go hunt turkeys with that.
I bet that would...ruffle some fuddy feathers...ha...aha...ha.
I've seen a lot around, but I'm more interested in the black bear in my back yard. My favorite small game has always been tree rats.
Still, good luck gents.

We will see not sure I’ll get out this weekend. I have something Saturday morning and I’ll head down to camp Saturday afternoon but the weather is supposed to suck royally where my camp is. Turkeys don’t move much or make much sound in the rain and wind so I don’t think it’s worth it. Had I have planned better I’d have taken tomorrow off. I screwed that up though. I guess there’s no 4/31 this year.
