In early spring, male turkeys thrust their necks forward and belt out the calls they're named for.
Gobbling is a means of communication.
A turkey's "gobble" is both an invitation and a challenge--depending on who's listening. To a hen turkey, it is an invitation to courtship.
To another gobbler, the call proclaims dominance and may result in a fight if challenged.
This "spring fever" doesn't last, however.
As summer closes in, gobbling wanes as hen turkeys are occupied with incubating eggs and raising their broods.
But, for a time, the spring woods belong to the gobblers.
