I went to do a little scouting this morning at 10am. I saw and heard 2 gobs and one hen doing their thing. I estimate 20 gobbles or so. I wish I was there at daylight.
Central MS as well. Predicting another early year.

They've been doing some gobbling for the past couple weeks here in S MS. Do you happen to participate in MDWFP's spring turkey survey?
I did last year.
Nada for me yesterday.
No gobbles for me this weekend but did some scouting on some new private land and some public i've never hunted on and found some promising sign!
A couple were rattling off this morning. Maybe they will be ready in the morning.
Ain't heard a thing past three morns. Apparently they didn't like the frost!
They've been fired up in south central MS. Opening day of youth, heard three gobble from roost. One got introduced to a kid's 20 gauge. Last Saturday heard 3 more and was able to take a 2 yr old that gobbled his brains out mid morning. Early that afternoon went back with a buddy and called up 5 jakes that we got on video whooping our decoys and gobbling in unison. It's been a great start to our season. Best we've had in years.
I've been hunting public this whole season. My first in MS. Moved because of military. I've only heard about three birds this whole time. Do they still have hens. Yesterday, one bird gobbled one time, another 4 times. Nothing the rest of the day.
I need help with this ole birds.

Some still have hens. One I worked several days ago gobbled like crazy until a jake came to him then shut up.

I'm hoping to spend more time scouting before next spring... I've got a lot to learn here in MS....
