Saw more gobblers and less jakes in almost every place I visited, bit concerning for the next couple years. But I also have seen way more hens in those same places and even hens in places I have never seen a turkey before.
Overall, it seemed like an early spring for most of the country which led to some incredible hunts around the opener but slowed down by mid to late mid season (when we are usually getting into some hot hunts). I suspect the hens started nesting a little earlier than normal.
I will say though, I was fortunate enough to watch a handful of turkeys come to the gun this year and I can count on one hand how many of them were by themselves. Last year, the opposite of that was true.
