This cold weather should slow things down and maybe make season a little better. Last year they were done breeding by the time season came in on our place. I had video of breeding on March 15th last year.

Well, hoping it slows the hens down and the big dummies don't get what they are looking for yet.
That was last year, Spence. It was cold but they were still strutting around the hens.
They strut year round for the ladies. Hoping the gals keep them frustrated until our entirely too late season.
I heard a bazillion jakes on the roost this morning. I have a group of around 20 that hang out with 1 Tom. I figure it was them. Nothing else sounding off. The cold wet weather has them way behind last year and that's a great thing.

i finally seen some yesterday by my house first ones of the year around there so id say there starting to split up more
We messed with 11 jakes on Sunday. The big boys were back in the woods and gobbled a few times. At one point, I got all 11 jakes to long neck and gobble. K thought that was TOO cool.
Heard 3 groups sounding off at daylight and for a few minutes after fly-down. Nothing after that other than a few hens.
Should of asked Spence about his. Damn thing is only a foot off the ground but it must be the dip in that trail.
I had 4 long beards all sorts of fired up this AM. Walked out to get in the truck and heard gobbles close to the neighbor's house, so I grabbed my new Primos Piggyback call and boy howdy, they wanted some of me.
