Turkey Fight

[Bencoyote]

I was able to witness a turkey fight the other day. I have seen several over the years but this is the first time I have seen two toms that had each others head in their mouth as they fought. I have seen where they wrap each others neck around the other turkey but not where the rivals head is in their mouth. Other turkeys enjoyed the fight as well and would join in by spurring the two combatants as they fought each other. But I guess it was worth it in the end. The winner was able to breed a hen near by.

WOW! If it were legal to take a double, that get's the blood pumping.
