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!

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.

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.
