Spring Turkeys

The warm weather of spring brings the mating season for wild turkeys. This is also the season for the PA spring gobbler hunt. Spring turkey hunting is allowed from sunrise to noon and sometimes I wonder if turkeys know how to tell time. While I was talking to someone in our driveway yesterday at 1:00PM I noticed 4 big gobblers, 100 yards away, out looking for hens. About 20 minutes later another big bird entered the field.
