You can’t call in a henned up tom. Turkeys don’t move in the rain. Don’t overcall. Devoted turkey hunters know that this is just a bunch of hearsay. That’s doe poop and this is buck poop. Sure it is, pal. As it turns out, you actually can differentiate the sex of turkey excrement. It’s true, the elongated J-shaped turkey turd is left behind by a tom, while the round clumpy scat is that of a hen. This is due to the cloaca of a hen turkey being wider and more round in shape than that of a gobbler.

Long winter months force thoughts of warmer weather, green dew-covered grass, early sunrises, and Merriam’s gobbling on the roost. At least for me anyway. If you’re a fellow turkey enthusiast, you’re likely thinking about the upcoming turkey season, pondering what you should do differently this year. The thought of backcountry turkeys often crosses my mind. The idea of pursuing turkeys in a remote, rugged landscape, where turkeys aren’t likely to encounter many hunters, has an undeniable allure.

The robins are greeting the morning sun, as are the turkeys perched in a stand of oak trees on the hillside opposing you. Things are looking good for the morning hunt. Shortly after fly down, the toms are responding to your calls, even the hens are talking back to you.
