Default birds still gobbling hard

The season will be over in 6 days and the turkeys are still showing out. I heard 6 on Friday morning and have not been able to go back and hunt them. Usually by this time of the year they have almost stopped. I don't know if it is due to the rain messing up the hens that had nest or what the deal is.

Yes, it has been a little strange in Florida this year. I thought for sur ethe gobbling would be over by now but a friend went out last weekend in Central Fl and heard the birds lightly gobble. They should be done by the end of this week.

On Saturday morning near Troy, Al we had one gobble on the roost 4 times, he flew down and shut up. Couldn't get another note out of him. We checked over about 600 acres and couldn't get another gobble. I wonder if the hard rains earlier messed up the hens and they are re-nesting or something.

That is about what it had to be. The birds I messed were on small hills that were surronded by water. I spent all morning from ankle to knee deep water. The south end of the land I was hunting on is around knee to waist deep. There are a pile of hens with every gobbler that I found. The first birds I saw that morning was a gobbler and a hen in water about 6 to 8 inches deep.
