Garebear18, welcome to the forums.


Yes, that is totally normal and yes, you have good huntin land.

Gobblers will sound off for many reasons. They'll gobble at the local hen population that they are with, they will gobble to let hens know where they are and you can shock gobble them with locater calls. A gobbler may sound off before leaving a tree for several days in a row and on the next day, never say a word....it's these gobblers you can sometimes shock gobble. As long as they are gobblin on their own, there is no need to use a locater unless you might want to see if you have one closer.
