Default RE: MAN, THIS STINKS!!!!!!!!!!

I've been in the woods every day since our season in mississippi has opened (7days). I have heard two turkeys gobble a total of 11 times. They were gobbling better two weeks ago I geuss all of the wind, cool weather and rain has got them messed up. I did luck up and saw some hens fly up opening afternoon and decided to hunt close to them the next morning. I put a jake and hen decoy in a food plot before daylight hoping they would come in the field since it was raining, they did. Thirteen hens and one jake came up to the decoys and acted a little mad at the intruders but the gobbler paid them no attention. I did everything I could to get him to come closer or at least gobble. For two ours he just fed around with the hens and finally come close enough for a shot. What is weired is he never gobbled or even strutted, he didn't even half strut, he just fed around and showed the hens or the jake no attention. He had a 8 1/4'' beard and 3/4'' spurs so I am asuming he was a two year old and should have been strutting and gobbling at every thing. The two turkeys that I have heard gobblr only gobbled on the roost.
