Have you guys in PA noticed an overabundance of shots being fired before 6 a.m. this season?

I was guiding a guy on Saturday when somebody blew our bird off the tree. I managed to keep my composure and not go out there and flip out on the guy. Less said less mended, I suppose. He wound up getting a good one later, anyway, so I guess taking the moral high road pays off.

I tagged out on the first friday, but the couple mornings that I did get to hunt, I heard a whole lot of roost shooting in SW PA. Now, you can barely hear a gobble on the roost from a ridge that on opening day where I heard over 20 birds sounding off. I'm attributing at least some of the lack of morning chatter to the idiots running around trying to fill their tags before legal shooting hours.

For the last two weeks, I'll be trying to call for my friends, but it's just getting really difficult to get a bird to cooperate at flydown when every turkey in town has been peppered off the roost every other day.

If they would just try to run a normal setup on the gobblers and hunt them the right way, they wouldn't be so darn call-shy and spooked. It would just be so much better for everyone.

I guess I can stop whining now, but I was just curious if any of you all have encountered the same problem.
