His general area is where I am. I've heard him gobble in the same spot before the season ever came in here in NC. There aren't many hens there, and I am pretty sure he's the only tom in that area, because they have cleared out about 40 acres due to a housing development right behind house (this is where I killed my first bird 3 years ago and also saw one strutting in same area last year). Also, a logging company is clearcutting another 40 acres up the other ridge on the same powerline I'm setting up on.

The place where he mostly gobbles and struts is basically in the bottom of combining ridges (kind of like a cereal bowl shape). Now that doesnt say he doesnt venture off because he looks to be the same bird I saw crossing the winter wheat field across the road just by looking at his beard configuration.

I've played it safe with him since day 1, and I think I'll continue to do the same. We've still got a week left in the season, and that is plenty of time for him to finish his business breeding his hens and eventually meeting my 2oz. 4x5x7's out of the rhino.
