Turkey's Still Breeding?

[ShedHunter1]

My Dad was checking cow's and calves today in the pastures and thought a calf was out in our oats field. Way at the other end he could see a black blob.
He carries a pair of binoculars on the four wheeler so he checked it out.
Here at the other end was a hen and a huge tom all fanned out.
Would it be a late hen? Was he just showing off?

they will breed again if their eggs get wiped out have you had some flooding issues or maybe predators at least I have heard pheasants will

X2. But, I've also seen them strutting in the fall or even winter when there is warm weather. I think they just like to show off when the weather is nice.

We have had rain but 0 flooding, not even enough rain to raise the cricks. Probably racccoons or skunks. Or just showing off to his lady friend! LOL

Probably exerting extra effort since the ladies have been uncooperative.
