Only one good pic but the second one shows at least 2 toms near cam the partial blue head and another with tail feathers at half mast I blew up the one Tom pic...he has some nice sharp spurs...I never see that here...not sure what the one near those 2 young bucks are BTW major forehead swelling and small bumps...I notice older buck get a whole forehead swell and the young ones individual bumps at first...have you guys noticed this?

That tom in the last pict definitely has some good spurs, Growie...

 

Good luck with him !

I don't want to be a buzzkill but it looks to me like it's not a spur but a finger.

Turkeys have toes.
Chickens have fingers

I blew the picture up and spurs are well above the toes.. spur and pointed...usually here they tend to be rounded.

Finger, toe, foot... I do see the Spurs but I also see that toe/finger/thingy on the left leg that if it was a spur, would be a Biggin. Either way, let's get him on the ground and get some close ups !!! Good luck !!

I May be in some luck..the farmer came up yesterday and sprayed the  WW. I assume with fungicide and or insect killer...the Winter grains in this area have smut,and wire worm / army worm issues as well as rusts Mildred...ect.,etc.

This spraying May keep them off the open fields  and on our place for a while.

And there it is...They are shock gobbling down on the hunters place and our back woods to the pounding of the pileted. There are at least 5 spread out from us down the hill at least 3 properties. Two close ones had deep gurgling type gobbles. At one point they all let loose sounding like those hand held church bells all sounding off perfectly one after the other and with different notes! Now that is how to start the day. I was hoping they may come up close enough for pictures but there is a very thick fog here. Probably why they were singing as they were.
