De Risi ByBy Gary Miller It was the funniest sight the other day. At daybreak a tom strolled down the path to a small fi eld just in front of me. There he strutted and gobbled and listened for any hen that might be close and interest- ed in watching him fl ex his muscles as if he were in a pose-down at an Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic. He paraded in one direction and then the other as if he were practicing in front of a mirror in an- ticipation for the real thing. It was not too long until some move- ment to my left caught my eye. It was 5 young jakes who had heard his call and decided to team up and try to run him off. That's what they do. The younger males are not fi t enough to take on a full grown gobbler by themselves so they form a gang and team up to push him away from any hen that might be around. The problem however, was there were no hens in sight... yet. As I watched I was impressed that the older tom stood his ground. And while the jakes looked formidable, it mostly amounted to nothing but a good bluff. So there they were; 5 jakes and a tom bick- ering among one another in the middle of my little fi eld. And then it happened. She showed up. Yes she did. And she must have looked really good because every one of the boys suddenly stopped and looked, and never fl inched one tail feather. They froze for what seemed like eternity, just watching her saunter across Utility plus economy The John Deere 5D and 5E Series is where utility meets economy.

It was as if each one had so practiced this moment, but now that it was here, they were totally unsure of what to do. Do I go over to her? Do I fl ex again? Do I punch one of my friends in the face? I sure hope I don't have any- thing hanging out of my nose. And while she moved gracefully to the center, they were afraid to budge, fearing a monu- mental stumble. I laughed at how my feathered male friends were so like me and my non- feathered male friends. I was reminded of my own pursuit of my wife years ago, and how my rehearsals were so much more suave than the actual perfor- mance. The deep and handsome gobble that I had practiced was hard to repli- cate with sweat running down my fore- head and a big apple stuck in my throat. To say anything at that moment would give away the fact that my voice was still changing. So, like my turkey brothers, I simply stood still, making sure my knees were slightly bent because I had heard this would keep me from passing out. As she passed by, I gathered up all the tes- tosterone that had been slowly leaking out and fi nally posited the question; "Do you want fries with that?" And we have been together ever since. ww outdoortruths.or wwww..outdoortruths.org an d 0 % fo r 6 0 Month s $1,50 0 OFF b11 4 Hail Damage, Dents?
