SCOUTING FOR TURKEYS

3/28/2017

I was able to get up early this morning and go to a piece of public land here in Iowa.  I’ve seen some turkeys on this piece during a couple of previous springs.  Fortunately, this short scouting trip did not disappoint.  The first gobble came at 6:41 am as the morning began to materialize.  Shortly after that, another set of gobbles came from the south and east of me.  I heard a total of at least four birds and one of them I believe was a juvenile.  From the roosted location of the birds, I am going to attempt to listen from another access point later this week.
