Anyone hearing anything yet. Getting started in southern part of the state.
Im in the KC area, nothing yet here. This last weekend they were just started to break out from their wintering grounds. Haven't seen a strutter or heard a gobble yet.
Any update from the northern part of MO? Headed up to the Iowa/MO border to hunt in a week and a half.
Heard about 12 gobbles on public. And had 2 gobbling Jake's come 5 steps with 2 hens to my funk chicken decoy. No luck tho but a good day n start compared to last yr in MO
In KC Metro area. Had no gobbling on the limb this morning, but about 15 minutes after shooting light had one respond not too far off from my first cadence of calling. Was dead 15 minutes later after he gobbled 30+ times all the way in.
He had two hens with him, and one hung around well after the shot as if she had a nest in that tree row. Might have a lot of hens bread already, which could mean for a good season.
Hooks always slayin :newmascot: :newmascot:
Nothing yet in central Missouri.
I heard a couple gobble about 4 times back February 11th. Nothing since but I've only been out a couple times. Central MO
Heard several last week. Been selective on the mornings I've listened. Seems like if it's not cold and blowing, it's pouring rain. Looks like there should be some good mornings next week.
