LolHeck he is covered up with em but I still have never heard a tale of successful hunt or seen a pic yet.You would have thought he would have accidently walked up on one and got a shot by now being there are soo many

Agree %100i would disagree with on that. having hunted for several years in Texas, eventually those odds (with too many hens) swing to the hunter's favor.
and i damn sure would rather be chasing henned up gobblers than listening to silence and seeing nothing.
CRC - I know what you meant but just dont see that as an issue. dont want to argue.

[emoji23]I expect he only "trophy turkey hunts",,,,,,hasn't seen one worthy of him killing it yet,,,,,,,,,
Over the years I've migrated towards hens. If I have to choose between chasing a gobbler that I think may be by himself, or chasing one with hens, I'm heading towards the one with hens. Got no time for timid walk-away birds that are scared of a butt whupping if there is a lover boy and his harem around.
I agree with you from a hunting success perspective, but the walk away birds need killing IMO. We don't need tight lipped, shy birds proliferating.
please everyone share your strategy for killing those tight lipped, walk away, shy birds.

I always assumed hens dragged them off. Otherwise I have to blame my calling.....I had another day last year where I got set up on a hard gobbling bird on the roost. And there were two more gobbling off to my left.
Long story short, they all 3 got together and walked off directly away from me, answering my pleading calls once in a while, till they were out of ear shot....

Yeah, that's what we are told. And sometimes, I think it is indeed the case. But I think hens often get blamed for things they don't do....
,,,,,,,,,,,,Turkeys fascinate me.
I think you're right with this.......I've heard people say that the hens got jealous when they heard another "hen" calling but I'm not sure they have the reasoning powers to do that!
I think the hens just go where they are going.........if the other "hen" wants to follow, come on along!!
