Well, I called for on of my dads buddies this morning on our farm. The birds were gobblin' their heads off this morning......................until they got off the roost[&:]. They didn't make a sound once they hit the ground, I figure they found some hens right away. We were set up about 80 yrds from the roost and I think they flew down the opposite way of us. Pretty drizzly and cool this morning.

Yesterday my uncle shot a tom sporting a 10" beard and topped the scales at 20#. He was toward the back of our property, and said the birds were gobblin' like crazy, and that he saw 3 more big toms, and 2 jakes in the little area. Looks promising. My season starts next sat
