Last year we had a fairly early spring. The birds were talking good the youth hunt wknd the wk before May 1st up here Osw. Co.. Come May 1st they'd pretty much calmed up, and I never heard much gobbling again until the last wk. Being an even earlier spring I figure will see the same sort of action. The Youth hunt is wknd of 4/22 & 23rd. It should be real good for the kids, and I'm hoping my son bags his first bird. But come May 1st I feel it'll be tough going again for turkey talk.
