This is true.
Depending on where you live, in about a month will be a good time to start listen' for them gobbles!

Good luck!

Hens dust at all times of the day....

RE: strutting

They have already started some strutting and early morning gobbling where I live in Oregon ,I believe a lot depends on your weather as to when they start . A few days of sunshine makes a lot of difference .

RE: strutting

Depending on where your located, it may be a little early for strut zones. Toms like wide open fields to strut in so they can be easily noticed. When it is early like this, I look for field tops and open fields, make a note of them, then check them closer when the season gets a little closer. Even though you may find one strutting here and there, it don't compare to what it will be like in a month or two when just about every field has a strutting Tom.

Not necesarily true in some case's , last spring I was set up on hill top meadow waitng and calling.
When I saw a big boss tom standing on top of a dead fall tree in a well wooded area just 120 yards below the hill.
There was trees all around this gobbler but yet he went into full strut and I noticed he had five hen's in front of him.
In most case's a boss gobbler will pick a ridge top or a clear meadow and even the edge of a field.
