BrandonBlout I didn't see any hens, although it could have been in the bushes beside the turkey.

Could you please update your spotting with the information listed in the ID suggestion so that it will pull from the unknown category?

Great Photo, and Spotting! Did you notice any Hens around? Normally they only strut (Puff up) when they are trying to win the affection of a hen, or to warn other Toms that they are the boss.
