Went out last evening and located 10 gobblers. Hit the old owl call and got some gobbles. Just 2 days before I saw 3 hens and 2 gobblers, 1 in full strut. Good thing is that if the hens nest early with the warm weather we've been having opener should have love sick Toms looking. Although I do worry because last season was tough enough. Any one else seeing or hearing the same?
Nothing in SEMO this morning. It wasn't a very good morning for listening but absolutely silent. I did see one gobbler strutting around noon Tuesday.
I'm just hoping this year will be better than last for me. I have permission to hunt a 400 acre farm this year so I can barely wait!
Went out this evening again and 8 gobblers and 4 hens. Season can't come soon enough!
Good luck, it's been many years since I've heard 8 gobblers in SEMO, at least on the public I'm hunting. May explore some new public places this year, my son is supposed to show me a spot he hunted last year that had quite a few gobbling, also a lot of hunters too.
