Turkeys often favor eating protein-rich insects that also provide a source of moisture. Uncut grasses separating woods and fields attract insects as well as the turkeys looking for a tasty meal. Fresh buds, grasses, small reptiles and snakes, berries and crabapples are other warm weather fare for the wild turkey. Once a frost falls, insects are removed from the menu and wild turkeys will search for beechnuts, acorns, nuts and grain, among other edibles.

Deer and bird feeders will often attract wild turkeys that enjoy a free meal of spilled cracked corn, millet, wheat and other seeds. Nor is it a rarity to see turkeys in an acorn rich yard where the lack of forest deadfall makes for easy pickings, especially if the yard adjoins a wooded area where turkeys will venture with the safety of the woods close by. Many hunters experience the irony of finding wild turkeys on the lawn when they fail to even see a turkey on a recent hunt.

Hens that failed to raise a brood will gather in groups that commonly stay together through summer and into winter. These groups can include hens of different ages and may include the current year’s juveniles. After the breeding season ends, adult and juvenile gobblers will flock together in late spring and summer traveling in autumn groups, and into the beginning of winter.

As any turkey hunter knows, turkeys are wary creatures and often difficult to hunt, especially in certain locales of the south. It is interesting to note that wild turkeys can run at speeds of up to 25 mph, can see in color with daytime vision that is three times keener than that of humans, all of which assist the turkey in his survival and make the hunters task more difficult.

Hunters will find the success of a hunt eased by newer model turkey shotguns for sale that feature state of the art technology effectively reducing recoil by as much as 70%. In addition, GrabAGun.com stocks turkey hunting chokes to provide your next hunt with greater success.

Turkeys generally have favored habitats, and by observing wild turkeys year round hunters can get a fairly accurate assessment of where turkeys can be found during the seasons.
