Title: Quiet for a week in PA
Post by: Penguin907 on May 16, 2025, 04:47:16 PM
Haven't heard a gobble since last Saturday. Parents saw one Tom about a mile away. I'm hunting farm lands and hills covered in woods. Any recommendations on game plan when birds have shut up long term?

They are going into a different stage of the breeding, just give it time and it will come back around as the hens leave to go nest more and more ...

Not hardly. 

Just normal ebb and flow of breeding season.
