While driving the pasture yesterday [south Texas] I saw about 15 turkeys.While observing them,several gobblers started strutting.I always thought this occured only during the spring time during mating season.Was this unusal?

I think so but i am no expert. I would think that would be like a deer chasing does in the summer. Who knows though?

Some dudes like to strut their stuff all year long.

yes they will, but is not for mating reasons.

One of my turkey hunters explained to me that turkeys have a social structure. they will try to be dominant over the other toms and a boss tom will emerge out of all the hoopla. Hens do the same even having a boss hen.

sometimes they are settling who will be boss in the spring. I watched 10 males, 4 toms and 6 jakes, strut, kick, flap purr all over the place in the middle of November.
