Do Tom Turkeys Dust Bathe??

Watched 2 gobblers and 4 hens dust bathe just this spring in S Dakota. No question in my mind.

I would imagine they do, as many of the replies here have mentioned visual proof. I would be willing to bet the lack of sightings of this in the spring can be attributed to the fact that toms have something else on their mind (mating) during this time of year. Kind of like how a whitetail buck will neglect food for the most part during stages of the rut. Could be totally off, but just my theory!
