Default RE: Virginia Gobblers

I went out last weekend and had two birds gobblin and struttin early, around 7:00. Saw a total of 39 birds that morning. Went out again yesterday late (about 4:30) and noticed toms struttin but silent. Saw a total of 23 birds. There was a light on and off rain at that time. I noticed on both trips that the jakes are still up close with the toms and the toms are strutting together. What I mean is that they don't seem to be competing yet. One of the groups I saw had three toms stutting and 6 jakes within a 30 to 45 yard diameter. I thought with the early warmth we have had, things might have fired up a little early. We will just have to see what next week brings!!!
