It is a little on the slow side. Most recent outing heard a lot of gobbling early and then I guess they henned up becauseall the gobbling stopped around the same time.

Its not that slow here, actually it's pretty good. My brother was calling one up sunday and someone cut him off to the bird and killed it about 80 yds from him. Scared him to death when the guy shot it, he got mad and left the club. Monday morning he went with a friend of mine on thefriends grandfather's land and they heard 6 different gobblers. My brother called up two and my friend killed the biggest one- a 10inbeard,1 1/4 spurs gobbler. It was his first gobbler.

killed a nice bird opening day down in polk county. lots of hard gobbling off the roost, but they quieted down somewhat once they hit the ground. i was able to get a hen mad and once she decided to come in, the big boys followed.

good to hear that there are some birds moving around. this warmer weather helps. I'd like to keep this thread going through the season.

I have called in 7 different birds for my friends in the 1st week of the season. With all that luck we still have seen a drop in the gobbling actio that we had for the past 2 weeks. My friends have killed 3 of the 7 and I haven't even tried to get a shot. I think this is one of the best years I have ever had and don't even want to shoot.
