What is Photoperiod And What Does It Have To Do With Turkeys?

How do turkeys know when mating season starts? If you know the answer to that question, please don’t spoil it for the rest of the listeners. Turkeys, like deer, elk, and most other wildlife have a defined mating season at the same time each year. Actually, the only animals I could find that don’t have a mating season are the Golden Spiny Mouse, the Tree Kangaroo, the Musk Shrew, the Long-Thumbed Frog, and a short list of others. Today, Jason Lupardus, CEO of Turkeys for Tomorrow, tells us how turkeys time their mating season so accurately, what changes in their behavior, and why some turkeys start their struts early.
