RE: Starting in VA!
I was out filling my deer feeder last Monday and there were some crows circling around making their unmistakable kaw-kaw-kaw. A second or so later they were answered by a gobble. This was repeated two more times in about 2 minutes. So there was a gobbler across the road about 300 yards from me. Of course, it just confirms that the gobblers are in a breeding mood, no doubt being stoked by the warm weather we have been having here in VA for the last 2 weeks. I was out yesterday, again filling my deer feeder, and I didn't hear anything. I took the opportunity to get my tree and circle it with downed trees and vegetation for Saturday mornings opening day.
