So I am hoping that we have enough odd weather to keep the turkeys from breeding to early..
I would forget about the "Already Bread" thought as Turkey will breed for more then a month. I have taken birds over and over on the very last days of the season and find the end of the season better then the start. Around these parts I have seen Gobbler strutting to hens right into the last week of July so breading is far from done.
Read what the guys here are advising you, it all boils down to Scouting, patterning, and setup with a bit of calling ability to become successful in the woods.
