The other morning when I went scouting , I came across this lone hen, thought she might be a jake so I went around the corner and yelped, no gobble so I went on my way, on my way back I saw her again....she looked all flustered, so I talked to her, she got that glazed look again and laid down......figured I spooked a gobbler off of her...so I pulled away from her about 60 yds. and just sat there,I look in the rear view and here she comes running up to my truck, I couldn't resist, i had to talk to her some more....so I got out of the truck...her reaction to this is in the first video....I call this "our first date", lol



then today I saw her again and that is in the 2nd video....watch the ending.

now this is a totally WILD turkey.....I hesitated too long because I didn't want to spook her, so I missed my "touch" opportunity, but thats ok.....I feel really blessed that she allowed me into her world so to speak, even if it is just for a moment.....or a couple of them, lol...

Cool footage Ma!!! Thanks for sharing. Let us know if you have more encounters with her or get to touch her.

Unreal. How did she know you didn't mean to harm her??

I have no clue what she was thinking I was or what I'd do......it's the oddest thing I have seen when it comes to turkey behavior......usually they'll go off the road, either keep running or just stand there at a safe distance.This one started off that way, the very first pic I have of her is of her running away, then later that morning when I saw her again, I just started talking to her so she wouldn't spook and the next thing I knew, she was in love I guess....the first time it happened, I was dumbfounded, then next time, I thought, well damn now I'm really stumped...........

Could it be womans' intuition, that she knew you were not a threat.
