Been low numbers here in Ohio.
In 2011, I got to choose from one of six (all mature) birds hitting the ground from the roost within shooting distance and all strutting.
2012, I was hunting Rios in West Texas.
2013, there were very few birds to be found, and not in their usual locations.
I ended up taking a jake that came strutting in behind a longbeard (role reversal???).
This year I saw very few mature toms and several jakes. Some areas still had nothing.
Very little gobbling. Season running late and birds were completely henned up until the last week. The week before got hot and all action stopped. Also, coyote numbers climbing this year and last.
