Looks like their breeding. Hard to tell if a hen is under some of them but in one of the pics I'd say there is.
Beautiful! Where did you take them?
Here's a couple I got from last week of a gobbler breeding a hen. It's kind of a photo sequence of him strutting and the hen squatting in front of him in one frame, then he's on top of her, and then doing his thing.
However, this is in central FL so we're probably a little ahead of ya'll. But from the 4 cams I'm running on our place the gobblers really only started strutting recently (got my 1st pics of a strutter on the 23rd) and split up about 10 days ago. We had 5 or 6 longbeards running together all winter but now they've split up with 2 having their own little harem on different ends of the property and a group of 3 or 4 with another big flock of hens. It's definitely on here and probably slightly ahead of schedule.
