Been out twice so far, have not seen or heard any. Caught a black racer out there yesterday to keep from getting bored.

I had 3 not 50 yards from me on Saturday, gobbling their dang heads off, this went on for about 10 minutes then a quartet of hens joined them and off they went. I heard 5 seperate birds that day. I only heard 2 yesterday. I will be hunting them hard the next 3 days.

We've seen sign, feathers and fresh tracks, but the big boys are quiet as church mice. They're there, but they ain't talkin'. I guess the heavy pressure has shut them up.

Rogmatt,

I am in the corner, Alabama to the north, Georgia to the east.

I killed on on Tuesday, 20 pounds, 9inch beard and 1inch spurs.

I had another longbeard about 30 yards from me on Wed, but I had my fiancee with me, and decided to just enjoy the show. He hang around for about 40 minutes. After he left she asked me why I didn't shoot him.

Had a jake 25 yards out yesterday. They are pretty henned up right now.

Hi Steelhead great job

I saw three long beards and about 12 hens this afternoon in PA. while I was driving home. One of the long beards was strutting. All three gobblers were about the same size with 10" beards. I was returning home from scouting in NY and PA. I did not see any sign in our hunting area. People are seeing strutters but nothing is gobbling yet.

Hey V M
We have a special youth hunt here April,3 for 15 and younger
As for the rest of us we will have to wait till April 10

Those birds werent gobblin much just a couple times each.....(just as the sun popped up) but sure got me wanting to go though.

I saw a Tom with two hens in the corner of a pasture field (last week). He was in full strut.
maybe they are starting to break out of that winter time shell.
