Nope, no hens......he was actually with a group of 5 other toms. Hmmm, maybe he was trying to impress the boys?! :o
I was seeing the same thing here right at the end of deer season.
They been struttin all deer season out in pastures around here but they had hens with them.
I thought it was april the first week of novemeber here. Called in 3 that came in strutting and gobbling. Just enjoyed the show. A buddy heard one gobble sunday twice and have a few guys have seen them blown up here recently.
Yall are getting me excited!
No doubt looking for mailman and his mail truck again.

Exactly, exerting his dominance over the other toms.
The long winter has drove him crazy. He probably thought he was standing in a green field and it's 75deg. LOL
