EEEEEE you're driving me dadgum crazy I must say buddy. Congrats man, you're tearin em up this season. I went yesterday and today, and once again I heard nothing and saw nothing. I've come to three possible conclusions: 1. Poachers are coming in during the week and over hunting or shooting birds in my field, 2. The birds are just taking longer than usual to talk this season, or 3. High coyote numbers are affecting them somehow. My gate was unlocked when I got there Friday so I'm leaning towards number 1.

I'm not sure what's going on, but this time last year and pretty much all the years before, I had already heard two or three hundred total gobbles and had 2 birds on the ground. Opening week through about the first of April is historically the best time period for gobbling, and I haven't heard a single bird on my place. I'm still hopeful my place isn't being hunted while I'm gone and that these birds will get fired up soon. If I don't hear any next weekend I'll be looking for a new place for the rest of the season.

EFH, congrats again man!
