Strutting hens

[Poleaxe]

Is it possible for a hen to strut? Still learning things but never heard of that. A buddy sent me a video of what he says is one but I can't tell. He's not known as a fibber. Just gonna ask.

I have a trail cam pic of one strutting somewhere. No doubt it's a hen. I've heard other people say they have witnessed it while hunting.

Ya. There's a bearded hen turkey mount that somebody posted on here that's in strut.

Absolutely. I saw some a few years ago strutting like crazy. Two were going round and round like they were sizing each other up for battle. I videod it on the phone I had at the time.

I have seen it a couple times in the wild and had some tame hens that would strut around.

Yep strut and gobble. Their gobble is something you need to hear.

I've seen it a couple times. Once it was a hen with a dozen poults that couldn't have been more than a week old. She was showing her dominance to the other hens and even tried to gobble a few times. Of course this was back before the days of camera phones or I would have got a video of it.

Last year, I had a hen puff up same shape as a strut and push a juvenile raccoon out of the field. It was Hilarious- lasted several minutes. Never seen it done to another turkey though
