I heard one gobble WAY off in the distance this morning. I boogied out around 830-900 and saw one as I was walking out. Go figure.

Maybe some of the seasoned guys will chime in. I have heard there isn't any rhythm or rhym to when they are vocal and when they are not. Some days they are talking. Other days quiet. Sound accurate turkey gurus? If so, I took it as they are still moving, just not as vocal. Accurate?

Turkey are silly critters really . They aren't smart . But they do have great survival instincts . If they don't gobble they're pretty boring to hunt . They're also pretty predictable , until they see a buddy gets shot in the face . Stick with it guys . It'll work out .

Well had o e that was closer than I thought, didn't like my position and the direction he was coming from. Moved about 10 yds. and haven't heard a thing since. Amateur mistake.

My buddy Clint, his son Ike, and Mason. Mason pulled the trigger on this bird. Working one for Ike now.

Got one a couple hundred yards south of me... Gobbles about every 20 minutes.... Doesn't sound like it's getting closer though....

Got up pulled the decoys and moved up the ridge. Was just about to the mineral site and heard a gobble down over the hill. Set up the decoys and positioned myself about 15 yds up hill. Never heard anything for about 15 minutes. Put a couple soft yelps out and here pops a hen up over the hill. She starts cutting and becomes curious in the decoys. I thought for sure she had the gobbler in toe, but no such luck.
