In all my years of turkey, I have yet to see one mate. Come close a few, but no cigar.

Ha, they look like a herd of dinosaurs running by.  That's pretty funny!

Reminds of myself when I was younger...<<wink>>...

 

A buddy of mine I and were out videoing turkeys a number of years ago. We had some pretty mild March weather that year and as I recall it was about the second week of March.

 

He got a video that day of a gobbler mounting a hen, with another gobbler alongside " choking his chicken" on the ground.
