Missouri set a new record this year for opening day harvesting over 10,000 birds on that Monday alone. As for not getting on a bird in three days, that was just a location problem. I have called birds in close enough for a shot every day I've hunted except for one, and it was raining buckets so I didn't hunt long. The weather has also been hit and miss especially on weekends. I wouldn't blame the MDC, they don't know exactly when peak mating will occur each year, Mother Nature usually conrtols that one. I live in SW MO, and people are still seeing gobblers strutting with hens, so its not all over just yet. Gobbling activity usually picks up after the major mating wave has occurred. Gobs are shouting out and searching for the remaining hens that haven't been bred. Don't give up on the Show-Me state just yet. If you aren't hearing much gobbling, spend the day covering lots of ground and glassing to find a gobbler. My bet is be close to there the next day close to the same time and you will be toting him out with a smile.
