it was 29 degrees here this morning and i missed a gobbler at 6.15 there were three strutters breeding about twenty hens, our season here opened a week earlier than usual,i have called 19 diffrent longbeards to within 60 yards in the past 4 days and with the exception of tis morning they were all strutting and togetherin pairs without hens. birds here gobble best on cold clear mornings this time of year here plus they all seem to congregate in swamps and creek bottoms,i actually beleive some think they have webbed feet. i guess they congregate there because the bottoms are the first places to green up.
