A dry Spring is good for Turkeys
HE LIVES!
A long-bearded gobbler the day after the end of Wisconsin's Spring turkey season. He'll be twenty times harder to hunt in the fall with a TURKEY DOG.
Bearded Hen shaking a leg!
Not sure what she's doing here. If you know, tell us all.
She has a little stub of a beard. Hunt turkeys in the Fall.
Dusting Hen

Last day of Wisconsin's spring turkey season 5/26/26.
Hunt in the Fall with your dog.
Hen Turkeys lay their eggs between April 30 to May 12th, then set on them for 28 days, starting between May 12th to the 25th.
Poults should hatch June 9th-22nd. Coyotes hunt all night long.
Save turkeys - hunt them in Fall.

Red says there's something up in the trees, then Suki confirms it. Listen. LOOK.
In the Bayou

Can an old school website like TurkeyDog.Org survive Artificial Intelligence?
It's old school, just like turkey dogs. It began before readers had to view 8 X 10" pictures on a little phone. SEE WHAT A.I. PREDICTS about TURKEYDOG.ORG!
Bald Eagles are back
Bald Eagles migrate south from here, to open water during Winter. Maybe only as far as the Wisconsin or Mississippi Rivers. This one and it's mate were cleaning up a raccoon car kill. Wonder how many turkeys they kill? Turkeys run, dogs bark, birds fly, hunters call.
Sandhill Cranes are back
Turkeys in the trees
Flushed turkeys usually fly to the tallest trees in the woods. Suki told me where this one was. It was so busy watching Suki running around the tree and barking, I was able to get close enough for a picture. More about Suki at Lucky - Suki - Red
Screech Owls love Wood Duck boxes.
Ready for the Wood Ducks
Time to clean out the Wood Duck boxes. This one had a successful hatch, the flattened egg shells indicate. Then another duck laid more eggs later, but they didn't hatch. Then a Screech Owl occupied it. Cleaned out, with new Cedar chips, ready for a new breeding pair..
Happy President's Day
While George Washington was an avid turkey hunter, Abraham Lincoln shot a turkey a few days before his 8th birthday February 12, 1809, in Hodgenville, Kentucky and never hunted again. turkeydog.org
