Whoa, help me out now, is that some type of dominance thing going on there? I've never seen even a picture of a turkey puffed out with his topside up like that. Or is it just the angle of the photo?

Thanks again Mickey for my daily fix....

David they do that all the time, I have dozens of photos oof birds in this state of puffiness. I'm not sure if it's due to a level of excitement, or a subordinance stance.

Youth tomorrow Mike and adults get to hunt starting Monday.

David, it has to do a lot with the position of the tail too. I know Primos has a new turkey decoy out where you use a real turkey fan and you can set it in two positions straight up , or leaned back on an angle. They say in their ad on TV that the leaned back position is a "less aggressive" position.

Thanks Mickey, I think it's the angle in the first pic that got my attention, I can see it now in the other pics.

I did see about 1/2 doz jakes out there this morning. First birds in a couple of days. Maybe one of the "dumb ones" will stick around for Monday morning.

Good luck Monday Kadbow

I think Mickey is giving them viagra in their water to keep them around.

bentpole..me personally? about 1 every 7 or 8 years

(technically I don't know.Two I think. I buy one tag each year, more of a donation to the ODNR than anything else, but it does allow me to chase them.)
