Well I dont have very many turkeys were I live but I plan on hunting with my friend on his parents land were there are quite a few of them. No gobbles yet but I have seen a fair amount of tracks. BTW how many turkeys can be entered?

"Only one bird per hunter is used for this contest to determine High Team standings. Multiple birds shot by any one hunter, the hunter has the right to upgrade his score as the highest score can be used to replace a previously registered harvested bird. New this year will be an Overall Team standing using all birds taken by any one team. We will also try to keep record for the best Rio, Eastern, Merriam, or Osceola so make sure you tell us the specie.
Only birds harvested during any given state’s Spring Season taken in an ethical manner under “Fair Chase” using either a Shotgun (Conventional or Black Powder) or Bow can be entered. "


Okay, so in short only one bird will be counted for "High Team" standings, but you can enter ALL birds you kill for an OVERALL team score. So enter all of the birds you kill for the overall score, but make sure your biggest bird is entered for the High Team score.
This will all be more clear once everything gets started up.

Just don't get hung up on what you find with this early scouting. Birds patterns will change DRASTICALLY from now to mid/late April. Where they are gobbling early-mid march might be fruitless come season.

I usually dont start scouting hard until the first of April, for our area, this is just as the flocks are breaking up and spreadin out...can really help find a certain gobblers range/patterns once those flocks scatter.

Yeah here in upstate Pa we still have quite a bit of snow. They are still in flocks and will be until mid to late March I suspect. I saw a group of around 50 yesterday on my way back to college. Saw a couple beards hanging real low too.

Mid March is just about season down here, so any of the birds gobbling now will be in my general area come opening weekend, which is March 28. I can imagine it's a little early for you guys up north though. On my property, if I see a gobbler in the Fall, you can bet he will be around come Spring. I have a flock of hens that stay on or close tomy poperty year round.
