It wasn't that long ago for me when I started turkey hunting. Most of what I've learned about turkey hunting, (other than what I've learned in the feild, or from my family), I learned here. So, to give a little back, here's a picture test and information for anyone new to turkey hunting and was looking for a little help.

Here are some droppings from turkeys. Can you tell from which bird?
Bird #1


Bird#2


One of them came from the bird that made this track.

The Track is definetaly a turkey track. Don't know about the Droppings though.

gobbler droppings appear to be fresher than the hen droppings also

#1 Gobbler

#2 Hen

#3 Hen

Ditto. Without scale its kind of hard to be sure about how big the track is in #3. It looks small though.

Middle toe isn't long enough to be a gobbler - that's the key to differentiating it from a hen. The other two toes on a gobbler track typically are "splayed" out more to the side. You occasionally see the "dew claw - back toe" on a gobbler track, especially in the mud, because he is heavier than a hen.

Looks like secal dropping in number one. Number two's a hen.

If that middle toe is as long as my middle finger, then its a tom.
