Interesting Turkey food??

[Helium]

Seen and heard lots of different findingfrom Turkey crawls BUT never snails... found these in a gobbler this weekend



locals said they had seen them in hens before likely eaten for egg production BUT never a gobbler. However it was extremely dry this year in S Texas and little food available. Actually rained some each day we were there and it was amazing to watch how quickly things began blooming and greening up

There isn't much a turkey will turn down I used cut crawl open often found lots stuff from worms and grubs to hickory hulls. I seen pic somewhere of salamander may have been on this site. That is reason its hard for a turkey to starve in south

I have seen snells often. I also found half a yellow dun drop cap once, guess he thought it was corn.

I love digging in turkey craws. I've seen frogs, tadpoles, cicadas, an entire jack-in-the-pulpit, spiders, snails, caterpillars and every seed known to man. They truly are a garbage disposal.

I've watched them eat deer gut piles .
