I often see as many as 25 to 30 on my property (not just Jakes) but getting close enough to get photos like you did is extremely hard.

Nice pictures
Thank you Mary. Spring turkey season starts in a few weeks,
males only. These turkeys are in a safe place no hunting in the
area they hangout at.

Know what a group of turkeys is called? I'll save you the trouble of looking it up; it's a RAFTER.

Thank you Country Boy. There were about 50 spread out along the
Arkansas river which is running high due to the start of the snow
runoff. I stay in my car and give them my best turkey call. The males
will call for the females to come to them. The big tom thought I was
competition and fanned for me. I went back today but the turkeys
were about 200 yards away, no good shots like these I posted.

Thank you Jerry for the info on RAFTER's. I've seen
rafters of more than a hundred turkeys.
How's this for a coincidence, your photographs and me seeing 8 wild turkeys along side a road I was driving on this afternoon. I hadn't seen any wild turkeys for a long time. Very nice shots btw.
