Do Turkey only gobble in the spring?

[ram95]

No

[powerfootball]

Right.

[Bubs]

What is meant by the term shock gobble?

 

And what can elicit a shock gobble?

[redstorm]

shock gobble means just what it says, a turkey will gobble when a sound or noise shocks or spooks it, usually during the spring. Owl calls, hawk calls, coyote calls, peacock calls, craw calls all will cause a turkey to shock gobble.

Exactamundo!

Which of the fours subspecies of turkey is usually the largest?

 

Which subspecies usually has the longest spurs?

 

Which subspecies has white tipped tailfeathers?

 

Where was the world record gobbler killed and what species was it?

[redstorm]

I believe the biggest is the Eastern which is what we have here, and the record was killed in Whitley County, actually Wolf Knob. It was an Eastern. I will let someone else answer the other two.

Then you live in paradise. I have hunted a few places down there, there seems to be plenty of everything, or at least on my friends farm there is.

I just thought up another Q

 

Why should you sometimes stay where a beagle has just jumped a rabbit?
