I've been scouting quite a bit in my hunting grounds in NW CT (which should pretty well mimic much of NY's southern tier). This past weekend was the first time I've seen single gobblers with groups of 4-6 hens this spring (prior outings saw larger numbers of hens with 2-4 strutters with them), so to me it looks as though things are progressing slowly and a little late compared to norm. Weather forcast's right now show it tending to stay a little cooler then I'd like, but we will have to wait and see how things pan out.
