Pa Birds Gobbling
#11

Went out this morning in central PA to listen for birds, didnt hear any gobbles and only saw 2 hens. Over the weekend back in the poconos birds were gobbling every morning and saw several strutters behind the house.

I always see guys parked along a rural road in my area-(Clarks Valley Road) when I am on my way to work. They are standing along the road with a box call in hand hammering like hell at a bird to get him to gobble a hundred times and then get busted by him if he is dumb enough to come into it. Those birds get an education quick from these morons who should spend more time on sites like this learning instead of screwing up areas for everyone else.

its funny that around homes they do that. 1 month ago i had 9 turkeys in yard. gobblers were calling and struting around the little hens puffing themselves up.
i guess they are practicing?

I have to agree i hate seeing people calling with anything other a owl hooter or a crow call. Personally i try not to make any calls just let nature take its course the birds will gobble naturally especially before the season.
