These poor boys are working so hard to make an impression and the hens are just ignoring them and eating seeds dropped from the bird feeder in my yard...

That's really cool! Do they make much noise?

Even though they'll be ignored for about another month and right now it's just for show the Jake knows to keep a safe distance from the Toms.

Waiting patiently, hopefully by the middle of April, two long beards will have a date with the smoker on my back patio.

Haven't eaten one yet but I'm pretty sure they'd taste like turkey lol...
Oh yeah, and they do it all in chorus. I hear them coming up the driveway making little chuck chuck noises, then all of the toms will gobble together every time something spooks them. I can go out and talk to them and they'll gobble every time I say gobble. It's a hoot!
True... once the girls start paying attention the tables are turned. Last year I watched with great amusement when one of the toms was all fluffed up and displaying, standing very still, and three hens were running in tight circles around him!
Ha! That's less than optimistic
If things go south and I ever get hungry enough I'll smoke one or two myself, but for now these wild guys are more pets than table fare. Which is probably fine with them!

Poor Tom turkeys. They are so stupid during mating season.

They don't seem to be much smarter in any season but they're neat to watch...
Yeah, but I think I'll stick with the frozen kind, these have grown on me as almost pets lol

Damned annoying around here. Even in a city of 150,000 they still constantly walk through busy intersections like they own the place. You could walk up to any of them here and toss them in a freezer.

Lol, yes, I gobble at them and even the wild variety gobble back in unison...

Much stupider during mating season!
Not exactly sure how you tell but I won't argue with youI can tell you it's pretty darned funny watching them preen and peck at the chrome on our truck bumper when they think it's a different turkey looking back at them...
