Title: The first gobble
Post by: JellyHead Key on April 18, 2014, 08:21:49 AM
I heard a few gobbles this morning for about 45 minutes and the birds went quiet after that. Should I set up closer to wear i heard the gobbles this morning? I'm not sure if that's 100% where their roosting but I'm tired of talking to them for 45mins and then they shut up.

get as close as you can without bumping them more importantly find out where they are going

well, sounds like you're tired of turkey hunting... ;D  Do you ever see them come down?  do you know where "Point B" is?  Sometimes it's better to find their general pattern, and break the morning into 2 or 3 sets where you have a probability of getting in their way at those times.  I have one of my properties that if I start off down low on the property, hit the middle of the mountain by 8, and be at the top by 10, I will always have turkeys around me.

That sounds about right for this time of year.  They gobble a few times on roost, fly down, maybe gobble once to twice more on the ground, and then the hens show up.  Too busy strutting around to gobble anymore.   ;D
