AL youth season was today and based on the sheer amount of pics, the turkeys are in the right frame of mind It’s almost like seasons starting later means better hunting or something

When strutting, the network of smooth muscles that connect to feather follicles raise and lower contour feathers on the body. These feathers are arranged in tracts, so their movement looks like a slinky! What a display! ⁦@wildturkeylab⁩ ⁦@NWTF_official⁩

A wild turkey’s snood, the fleshy tissue that hangs from the forehead over the beak, serves many functions. Helps attract hens, dissipates heat when a tom displays, and hens can assess a tom’s fitness potential via snood length ⁦@wildturkeylab⁩ ⁦@NWTF_official⁩

Burning hardwoods can have some huge benefits, especially in heavy mast crop years:

Poults need abundant insects to support rapid growth and feather development. Insects thrive in early successional plant communities, which often require disturbance to maintain. Is anyone seeing poults/broods? ⁦@wildturkeylab⁩ ⁦@NWTF_official⁩

Wild turkeys with multiple beards or spurs are unique and prized to turkey hunters. Why some toms have >1 beard or spur on a leg is unclear, but the primary beard or spur is usually longer. Anyone shot a tom with >1 beard or spur? ⁦@wildturkeylab⁩ ⁦@NWTF_official⁩

Not sure the turkey I hunted this morning ever flew down out of the tree, or if he ever will. He may just stay there for eternity

Asserting dominance often is on full display while turkey hunting, when a harvested bird is attacked by another tom. Toms never miss a chance to move up in the pecking order, as dominance matters in the turkey world! ⁦@wildturkeylab⁩ ⁦@NWTF_official⁩

Learn the bird, develop woodsmanship, and don’t use store bought shortcuts for success that won’t teach you a dang thing except how to pull the trigger

Never talk about no-hitters in progress, or favorable long range weather forecasts during turkey season
