Hang in there Tom. Odd that the Tom was still in a tree at that time of day. One thing about turkeys, just when you think you've got them figured out they come up with something new.

You mentioned bearded hens. Saw a Tom with no beard on Monday. It was with another Tom. No mistake that it was a Tom as I had to stop for them when they walked right out on the road in front of me. Never saw that before.


What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.
