RE: Excocet or Vortex?

I, too, think you should shoot both if you have the opportunity. I own a Vortex and am completely satisfied with it.

RE: When do they start gobbling at your place

No gobbles in central Illinois yet. Warmer weather is on the way so maybe that will cause the toms to get more active. Hard to keep from getting too anxious for gobbles and season opener.
