Pa gobblers very active
 

Ok this mornning i scouted out an area i mentioned in a previous post. Man o man. i seen seven bird . within minutes of arriving. i sounded off a few strokes of the call and almost instantly i heard gobble gobble.. The birds have been holden the same pattern since last fall. Should be fun when the season opens.

Last Saturday morning while travelling to our fishing hole there were turkeys in many of the fields, most fields had 20 - 25 birds and with 4-5 gobblers in full strut!

The turkeys on the Mt. I hunt on are going crazy also,I wish I could start today...:eek:

Yeah baby - they're definitely peaking right now. I've heard and seen quite a few good toms. They all looked (and sounded) absolutely delicious.

Can't wait until next Saturday.

walking today about a hundred yards ahead of me 2 hens ran acroos the road. shortly behind them was a nice tom. It loked like he was not taking no for an answer. anyway i think he could be called in.. He was gobbling up a storm..

The weather has taken a diffent change of direction. Therefoe the birds have calmed down. But today i did catch 7 in the power line. No matter what call i threw at em the did not respond well. Atleast i am seeing them i was worried . I didnt see any birds for 3 days. Has anyone else seen a change in turkey habits with the change in weather?

Just a word of advice, i wouldn't call to the birds as much as you are. You are educatiing them with every call, especially if they come in and don't find a hen and you get busted by them. But good luck saturday.

well, I wen't out Saturday and had three gobblers around me. The closest one started heading away as i could hear him getting quieter so I started calling. he turned and headed right back toward me. I don't know what spooked him but I only caught a quick glimpse of him around 40 yards and never saw him again. I was kinda bummed but it sure was fun calling him in.;)

Saturday -nothing rained heavy
Monday mornin- No sooner i put my decoy in the ground i heard a hen bleepin down the hill from me. I got to me spot and was there a few minutes when the hen came into the feild. She walked right to the decoy. then another hen approached. After a few yulps the hen walk into the woods. I called a few times and across the field a gobble rang out. The hen came back into the field to be joined by the gobbler. Never got a shot. they were to far away. the gobbler was interested , but i guess not enough. I went up the hill after they disappeared. At one piont i had 2 gobblers going .A big guy got within 40-50 yards but was distracted by real hens. I finally had enough when they headed the other direction. Will try again tom morning...
