How many of you guys have seen gobblers strutting with hens in the fall? Seems strange but its happened.

I believe you. It may be odd but anythings possible.:)

You just reminded my my other half of the two gobblers we had struttin' across our hay field about a month ago. This is going to be a strange year.

Not too unusual for this time of year, just feeling their oats after shedding their velvet. What state are you in?

We were out hanging stands this weekend and came across several large scrapes (2 were about 3x 3' the big one was approx4' x 5') and one tree torn apart..

My other half has stated that the only time he has seen signs this early is when the larger boys are in the area / their hormones kicking in early.. showing territory..

What are your experiences with this..

I have seen trees ripped up this time of year.

I have seen this same thing the past couple years. Huge scrapes under smaller trees. We found about 5 of them in a hundred yard area a couple years ago and the ground was destroyed, trees all marked up. It was this time of year too.
We thought it was pretty strange too. But it does happen.
We thought it was a big buck(s) that did it because of the scratches on the bark of the tree were pretty high up..

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 06:13 PM.
