Title: Quiet in central AL?!?
Post by: hwy419 on March 14, 2012, 09:41:30 AM
Gosh. Is it just me or is it abnormally quiet in central AL?!?  Been in the woods since Monday and only found one vocal gobbler in a place I usually have to pick one to setup on....

The groups I have watched are still several gobblers bunched up with a few strutters and ONE gobbling tom. If the other ones gobble, HE woops up on them immediately. I have marked all three of these as my first targets. I hope to kill at least two of them Thursday through Saturday so I can get some kids on gobbling birds.

I keep telling everyone; it is quiet because there are no turkeys in Alabama ::)

I've been scouting a bit in my main spots in North La and haven't heard a bird yet. I know there's some in there, they just haven't fired up yet.

OTOH I went to another place I don't hunt near as much bout 50 miles from there and heard 6 in one morning :D

They weren't fired up much this past weekend in SW Miss. They had been on fire the weekend before.

I wish I had checked here before making my thread becuse it made me feel a lot better about my situation because I havent heard one bird yet this year. Season opens here the 31st.
