I was at my neighbors today who has turkeys. He said they were already breeding. About three weeks ago I had just got out of bed and looked out the window. There was a hen and a gobbler about 20 feet from the house. I thought about killing him but then decided it was just too cold to mess with it. I hear it is much better than pen raised birds. I see several different flocks regularly but I bet they will be gone into hiding soon. We will see. I may hunt them this year for the first time. There are some really big ones around here. The one in my backyard did not look so good. I have been watching seven very large ones for several years now. This winter they don't look so well. I think they are getting old like me and now I am seeing only five in that pasture. One flock usually has about twenty eight to thirty birds others only eight or ten. I like to keep an eye on them. If they don't taste no better than those from the grocery store you all can have my share. Gerald
