Once again I openly encourage people to take advantage of the free educational opportunities which our various state governments so readily supply. In this case it was a course provided by the Delaware Department of Fish and Wildlife. The particular class which I attended was the "Turkey Hunting Class". This is a state mandated course for anyone wishing to hunt for turkey in the state of Delaware.
We arrived at Owens Station Hunter Education center a few minutes early and went inside to get a good seat. The class was suppose to have a limit of 25 people but was definitely much more than that. The turkey course was instructed by two of Delaware finest Master Hunters, Mr. Don Williams and Mr. Randall Hitchens.
The first thing we learned about was the history of the wild turkey here in Delaware. The wild turkey was essentially eliminated in the state until the late 80's, at which time many hunting groups including the National Wild Turkey Federation worked desperately to capture and import the creatures from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Vermont. These birds cost the organization $500 dollars each and they began their repopulation project with a mere 38 turkeys. Much to the avid hunter's surprise, 1991 brought forth the first turkey hunting season in the state of Delaware.
From our short history lesson dealing with the wild turkey we progressed to an understanding of the bird's nature. It was pointed out that turkeys sleep in the trees during the night and wander upon the ground during the day. Although they have a wonderful ability of sight with capabilities of 180 degree viewing they also have exceptionally sensitive hearing. It's important to understand that their vision is extremely poor at night therefore they are at the mercy of their predators if they remain on the ground while sleeping. Their hearing is capable of detecting a cigarette lighter click from a quarter mile away and they are well aware of any movements made within their immediate area. Word has it that if you see a turkey stand perfectly still until the bird ventures behind a tree. Their major downfall is the lack of an effective ability to smell their surroundings.
Turkey's require three major necessities in order to thrive in an environment. They must have large trees which are capable of supporting their evening roosting. There must be ample woods nearby to allow them to roam and lastly they need food. These birds eat just about anything which does not eat them first. They will gladly devour insects, acorns, chestnuts and even frogs and lizards. When necessary they will roam up to five miles away from their home range in order to locate a source of food.
When its time to setup a nest the hen will locate her nest beneath a tree, under branches or anywhere else they may feel safe on the ground. Their only concern is usually their natural predators such as owls or hawks. In the fall the hens gather together while the gobblers do so as well. This separation of the hens and gobblers is the start of the breeding season. While separated from the other turkeys the gobblers will battle each other for dominance within the group. Eventually a "Boss" gobbler will emerge from the group.
In the turkey world it is the hens who seek out the gobblers for romantic activities. During this season you will find that the gobblers will reside on branches near to where the hens are nesting. They do not return to the same branch each evening but will select a different one every night. In the morning when they awakens he will utter a few sounds to let the hens know where he is located and they will quickly make their way to his location.
Each day the hen will have sex with the gobbler and strut off to lay one egg. This routine is repeated daily until she has twelve eggs contained in her nest. Twenty eight days later there will be 12 young turkey poults running around the area. In the event the hen's nest is disturbed before the eggs are hatched she will restock the nest with additional eggs, unfortunately they will only be about 6 and not another 12.
As April approaches the gobbler will no longer find that the hens are rushing to him when he calls. He will now get more vocal and become agitated as he wanders around the woods. This is the time for the hunter to enter the picture. There's a saying in the turkey hunting world, "Don't hunt the turkey - get it to hunt you." By this we mean let the turkey come to you because you will never be able to successfully go to the turkey. They are simply too alert for the average hunter.
