Single Hen turkeys are all over the place. looking for a mate I presume. That is the natural order of things in the turkey world really the hen looks for a tom. But in the process the hens are clucking so toms do find them that way and is why hunters can set up and start the hens sounds to draw a tom in.
So yesterday I am taking The Buick to the wifes Moms house, ( yes mom passed away just over a year ago and sister in law lives there.) it will be mom's house till it is no longer a part of the family owned property.
I am on a back road that is paved, I get to a spot where there is woods on each side of the road and a hen turkey comes running out of the woods on the left, I made a little swerve as she stops on the center line. A car comeing at me slows and we pass the turkey between us, WHEW all is well.
Stop at the $1.50 car wash car wash and wash all the dust off from our freshly graded road. Spray it with wipe and dry wax, (Love that Lucas stuff) and dry the car off. Get to mom's house and park it, cover it so it will not have to be driven down our Muddy or dusty road Saturday morning if we get or not the Friday rain the weather people are forecasting.
We get in Kares ride and head for home, we are driving down a gravel road a short cut she didn't mind going on with her dirty Journey. A crazy hen turkey runs out of a hay field across the ditch. I thought she was going to run into the side of us. Once we are back on the paved back road we went about 5 miles and here comes another crazy hen out of a farm house drive way but stops short of the road.
Crazy hen turkeys are just that crazyly looking for LOVE.
