Kind of new to turkey hunting and was wondering if ya'll could give me some insight on this mornings scouting trip.
I was out in the woods this morning here in northeast arkansas doing some scouting. I was there before dawn and just as it got light enough to see much I heard a hen yelping. I dropped down and sat still, watching and listening. As luck would have it I had unknowinglywalked my way into the middle of several turkeys roosting. As it became more light several more hens were tree yelping all around me. I could see them in the trees. With my binocs I could see that none of them had beards. They talked to each other from about 6:45 to 7:15 and then flew down. I counted six of them and they were all hens. No gobbling heard from anywere all morning. What does this mean? Do you think there just aren't any gobblers in the area? Or does that mean that they just aren't gobbling yet this spring or this particular morning? Do gobbers usually roost with the hens? Anyway, it was an awesome morning and I was glad I was there. Even though I didn't hear any gobbling, do ya'll think it would be a good place to hunt?
