How is the season going for everyone so far? I've never had so many close calls and have yet to seal the deal. I've been seing lots of gobblers running together. What's everyone else seeing.

lots of gobbling in morning and then they hit the ground and they shut up.
i seen many hunters first couple days, but second week will be a good week. i will be heading west pa near ohio border and will try to fill second tag.

around me not much gobbling at all after flydown. and even some mornings not any on the limb. sat. morningi went to a place to listen and i was shocked when i noticed i was sitting right under 6 hens on the limb. many hens still not on nest yet, so my guess in a week or two its going to get a lot better.
it was funny they flew down and was all around me, i had one 5yds beside me calling i couldnt believe she didnt see me. then a gobbler went off and and they shut up and went right to him.
so far i hunted 5 days and i called in 4 jakes and one longbeard that i missed. ive seen 11 hens. so im seeing turks i cant complain.
