Yeah these birds aint ready to play yet. First day we had one bird gobble twice on the roost about 600 yds off. Heard nothing more but a few hens fly down. We couldn't get an exact bead on the gobbler with just two gobbles so we decided to let him be until a later date when they're more riled up. Didn't see any in the fields.

Today I went to another spot with a buddy and heard nothing. Tomorrow I'm going back to the place we heard that gobbler yesterday. If he gobbles a few more times I'm moving in on him fast. I give em about a week or a little more and they'll be ready.....hopefully.

The bird we hunted Friday morning gobbled a handful of times on the roost and hit the ground gobbling pretty good. The hens were really mouthy. It didn't take him long to clam up. He only got hot one time about an hour or so after he was on the ground then he shut up again.

They just aren't ready. Last year at this time they were tearing it up but the warm weather had a lot to do with that.

I hear ya! Yea last year they were gobbling way before season started... Looks like it's back to norm this year. Still have not heard a bird gobble yet. Got on the same group of jakes again sat. but still no signs of mr.longbeard. Took sun. off and got up to rain this morning so I'm at work now, saving that day for when they are talking more.

I tried to swap my vacation to next week but it was a no-go. Spent the day making some turkey calls to catch up on a few orders. I'll be leaving out in the morning heading to Oakmulgee. Hopefully the rain and slightly cooler temps won't make it too bad. I have a feeling though that they still won't be doing much.

I'm saving a few vacation days for the right time as well. I may be able to go try the national forest down here one morning this week, but we'll see. Doesn't sound like the birds are doing much anywhere in the state. A buddy of mine down in Grove Hill AL said they were talking a little bit this past weekend. Hopefully mine up at the land will start up next weekend or early April. Dogwoods ain't even blooming up where we are, which is normally a good sign of when they kick in high gear. We'll get it rolling soon.
