Turkey Crop Pics

Both of those were afternoon.
The first was from my son several years ago. I think that bird weight 24# with a pound of food in him.

Upstate creek bottom bird. Slam full of locust seeds

You sure those aren't pawpaw?

The marble is super cool.

Came here to say pawpaw, too, but that is a ton of pawpaw seeds to have at once when they drop and would have been picked at since Labor Day. My birds this year were empty other than some greenery, but I killed both before 9 and mostly hunt in a longleaf and beach sand wasteland. Doin't know how they find enough to eat to survive.

Killed one full of live wasps one time

The turkey was racist.

Killed right off the rip
In Middle GA. Mostly round up ready corn. Gizzard was full of red shavings from the corn, as well

There were 5-6 times as many more than pictured. Handfuls. That bird was killed at 3:00

My name isn’t anythingplants, so who knows what they were

This bird died around 10am. He skirted me off the roost, gobbled well at me, but you could tell he was on a mission. He gobbled his way away from me out of hearing but knew where I was so I just sat on the same tree and took a nap. (I presume) he went and ate this corn, came right back and then died. On my way out I figured out there was another hunter that (I presume) was sitting near that corn pile. He told me he had a bird in front of him for an hour mid morning but wouldn’t come in gun range. It wasn’t until I got home and opened the crop, and put two and two together that the kid was most likely sitting on the corn pile. Made me smile that I shot it out from under him. Shithead kid.

I’d forgotten about this until your post. Back in the late 90s a buddy and I doubled on a windy afternoon. Both gobblers crops were full of corn. Couldn’t have shoved another kernel in. We were on private ground and no idea where the bait was

The one with corn was killed 3 minutes after fly down near the property line. I put my game warden buddy on it, and he caught the neighbors for baiting. There were also a few chufa tubers mixed in with his. The one with oats was killed in a burn late one afternoon next to an ag field planted with oats. He couldn't fit another oat in his crawl.

Snails are a cool find.
