Quote paraphrase and citation #1

"Most of the time, the biggest and/or oldest gobbler is likely to also be the dominant one within a flock. He can often be identified by the way he acts. When watching a small group of gobblers in the spring as they approach a hen or come to your calling, look for the longbeard that does all or most of the strutting. He will be the dominant bird nearly every time."

What the author of this passage is saying is that when you are calling usually the one that answers you and comes to you strutting is most likely the dominant bird of the flock.  Now there has been cases were the dominant bird has a hen already and with her so then that gives the non dominant birds a shot to act like he is.
