Have not heard a gobble yet in central Fl but haven't had a chance to be out @ sunrise. Saw one trail of fresh tracks.
Feels like May 1st today not March 1st. I plotted up harvest data for the romp and stomp near Tampa I hunt...been in a free fall since spring of 2012. Last 3 years of have averaged around 30 checked out all season.. 2006 - 2012 accounted for more like 60 per season. Hoping to go out this weekend and have a listen.
I know a lot can influence success but it's an alarming trend. Last year was a real tough one too (close call opening day in the rain), and 2015 was the year with no spring. I remember it went from 50s the 1st week of March to upper 80s by March 10. There were still a few birds talking but it was tough trekking out there in the heat
