Let's Talk Turkeys

I live in SW OK but haven't been here for very long. I'm originally from IL where things are little different. I have been taking pictures of game over a feeder on a local farm (with permission). I wanted to hunt this area but now it turns out that I won't be home at all later this year. So here starts my questions. These turkeys don't look like the turkeys I have hunted in the Midwest. Are they a different breed? Also, I have never seen so many toms together before. Is this normal? Does it have something to do with the season/time of year? Last question pertains to the second picture. That's a hen, right? ;D I have literally hundreds of pics of toms and that's the only pic of a hen. ???










Thanks, Dinny

Yes, SE Oklahoma has the Eastern turkey but Oklahoma also has the Rio and the Merriams.

Which are those pictured?


Thanks, Dinny

Dinny here in our part of the state you will only find Rio Grands It's very rare you find an Eastern west of I 35.
If you get a chance during the late winter months drive toward Duncan along the Beaver and Little Beaver creeks and check out the wheat fields.
You'll see flocks of hundreds of Rios ;)

Pat,
Thanks for the info. Those turkeys pictured are Rios, right? Something about them looks different than the Easterns we have back home in Indiana.


Thanks, Dinny
