Does anyone have a thriving wild turkey population to share with a traveling turkey hunter?

We have a bunch but between me and my neighbors there like pets. Many very old toms with about 10inch beards.  We also have 2 bearded hens

The Toms must be almost ready to start struttin' and gobblin'.  They are here.  Haven't heard any gobbling activity yet but I always do during "sugaring" season.  I harvested a bearded hen once that actually gobbled at my calls.  Strange.

Wish i could help you out turkeys around this area seem to be dwindling.  I've seen 2 decent Toms and 3 Jakes.  Nothing like years past though wasn't nothing to see at 6 or more Toms in the valley fields trying to catch an eye of a lady.  Must be a food or predator thing seems like the grouse have suffered too since the coyotes came here.

Thanks any way.   Turkey numbers are dropping a little here too.
