Are Osceolas quite?

I have heard that an Osceola turkey is a quieter turkey.
Meaning they do not gobble as much.
Is this true?
The ones I hunt are on public land, so I am sure this as something to do with it.
We get a couple of gobbles in the morning on the roost and then they loose there voices.
Anybody else experience this?

      Thanks John

I don't know if they gobble less, but they are harder to hear once they pitch down because of the foilage, at least where I hunted them.  I've been on Osceolas that gobbled as good as any turkey I've been on.   But I've also encountered the tree gobbling ground drumming version.   
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

Overall, yes they are a quieter bird in my opinion. But like the others mentioned, foliage and predators also play a roll. But you can find those that will gobble with the best of any bird straight to the gun. . . . but they should be enjoyed and cherished! :you_rock:
