While hunting out west, it was the first time I've hunted with cattle around. The rancher said to look for areas where you see a lot of dried cow patties flipped over and you will see turkeys. To my surprise, he was correct. Where ever we found a spot with a lot of cow patties flipped over, we found a ton of turkey droppings, tracks, etc.
Our guess is that they are flipping them over to look for bugs. I didn't witness a turkey actually flipping over one, but I'm positive that's what is going on.
I did notice that the birds I shot smelled strongly of cow manure and sage. A lovely bouquet, lol.
So my question is to you guys that hunt them here in Georgia and for that matter anywhere else. Is this a common practice for turkeys?
