I filled my backyard feeder a couple days ago and naturally the critters have found that out. Today I had to make a trip to Owensboro and when we got back home there was one lone hen turkey standing down by the feeder. When she spotted me she made tracks in my direction to within 20 or so feet. Stopped and started clucking while looking at me. She then walked towards the feeder and every few feet she would stop and look back at me and cluck, it was like she was saying I know there is some corn in that green barrel and I want some now so get down here and make it put some out.
I carried what I needed to into the house and went back outside only to find her standing in the driveway. Again she started clucking and walking towards the feeder. This time I followed her, she led me to the feeder and walked a few feet past it and clucked several times. I shook the feeder to make some corn fall and she walked up and started eating it not 3 feet from me. I think she may remember last winter and me hand tossing corn to her and her friends.
