- locate gobs in mid-March. (Best to look at thetime for sunup, and be on a high listeningpost 1/2 hourbefore sunup-they shouldbe gobbling on their own by that time.) Forget about opening week up at Greenridge unless you like lots of company/competion (so I've heard from guys who have hunted there in the past). One facet is that many gobs will be with hens on MD's opening day, and will escape hunters' efforts to tag them. The birds you locate before the season may still be there later on, looking for the hens that have gone to nest (after ~23 - 25 April). Try to find gobs in March where you have to hike at least 1/2 mile from a road or trailhead. When the forest has leafed out in the later part of the season, you will not be able to hear the birds from afar. It will help if you know where they used to hang out...
- good luck, fsh
