gobbling
 

these florida birds are gobbling fools already, this is the second weekend in a row that i have heard gobbling, tried to get video of the one from this morning but i got too close and he spooked off the roost, but it sure was great to hear that gobble again......it's going to make this wait til opening morning loooong...i did hear a jake testing out his vocals about a month ago, but this is only the 2nd yr. i have heard them this early.

Ma , its kinda nice to hear the birds let loose in the fall. Here in Ontario the Nov. 7th I heard a few different Gobblers sounding off in one area. Kinda gets the Blood flowing so it does.

I heard 2-3 gobblers Sat at sunrise. It was cool, especially we released them last year.

RE: gobbling
 

a couple weeks ago i was blessed enough to have a group of gobblers gobble for 30 minutes non stop and then a deer hunter shot twice so they shut up for a few minutes...then they started back up for another 15 minutes...that made my entire day...first time i heard gobblers go off like that in the fall...they were more vocal than they are in the spring...it was truly amazing....i couldn't believe it...can't wait for spring gobbler season...whoo whoo!!:D

That would be awesome to hear that at this time of year.
Tell those birds to take it easy until I get down there in April. I would hate for them to get a bad case of lockjaw between now and then. :D
In 23 years I have only heardone turkey gobble in the fall.
All I ever hear in the fall is a few clucks and some wing beats.[8D]
