Looks like my place near Kerrville. Never thought I would say it but there are SO many they are "almost" a nuisance.

yeah. I have 2 seperate groups with between 15-18 and then 3 smaller groups with 7-8 on top of some loaner males. I will be taking my shotgun with me into the blind during deer season because they come by the blinds on the way to the feeders so i should easily get my four also. I agree with the vaccum statement 100% kind of like javalenas

Looks like you have the fence line covered... Do you hunt both sides of it?

I've hunted ranches with cross fences and they can be really productive locations up

SO i have little to none experience in hunting turkeys but from what i can tell and help me out please these 2 turkeys on the right of each of these photos are good looking toms correct. I am basing this on beard length and relative size compared to the others.

Man I'd die if I had those numbers of birds around on my area. Bow-hunting turkey hunter's dream right there.
