    Heck yeah! I saw 14 toms today, along with about 40 hens. 2 of the toms were actually fighting, it was the first time I have ever seen that in person. They didnt even notice me driving my truck hauling a trailer until I was about 75 yards from them :eek:

    Seeing lots of strutting specifically if it rains, fields are then full of them.

    I saw two strutting today as well. One ole tom had a single file line of hens following him. I'd never seen anything like it before. Wish I could have gotten a pic.
