ya, ours are strutting all day and gobbling hard all morning but they aren't coming to calls yet here. i expect the jakes and real old toms that get kicked out of the group to be the first to call in soon. in 3 weeks we should be able to start working the "in their prime" toms. we are also expecting snow and cold weather for a week, this will set our turkeys back a week.

the problem here in the early season here isour massover population of turkeys. most groups are around 100 turkeys, we have 2 groups between 300-600. we don't hunt the larger groups till a later split up, we try to hunt the properties with only 50 birds or so split into a couple smaller groups because they can be called in much easier. to hunt the big groups right nowwould onlyeducate a lot of birds and you would have to have their patterns down.

the camp photos are awesome, that would be great "lost horn".
