Saw 2 different dominate toms. One had several hens, watched him bread one of them. The other tom was with a sub-dominate tom and one jake, and several hens He strutted and hearded his hens for about an hour, trying to keep his hens away from the jake and other tom. This was during Missouri's youth season. Heard a lot of gobbling on the roost.
