Last Wed birds were hammering decent in SW Ohio.
Heard lots of gobbling on 4/11 and 4/12 in mid-Ohio. On 4/11, they gobbled all day long. They were gobbling just as loud and often at 4pm as they were at flydown.
Opening day...finally!!! The birds gobbled well this morning. I killed a bird at 11:15, he only gobbled a few times but followed a hen in to my setup.

Gooblin like crazy and loads of them!!!! SE Ohio
36 degrees and sunny early then sunny and windy.The birds gobbled a little on the roost then nothing. hunted until noon.
Hunted the first two days with very little gobbling heard, but was able to raise gobbles both days around 11:00.
Filled my first tag at 11:54 the first day, the second day he caught me out of postion, damn should of been in a blind and had decoys out ::)
Looking to get back out a few days this week, hoping for some better weather and more talkative birds? With very little early gobbling both of the first two days, I'm hoping they start losing some of their hens this round?
been huntn off/on thru first wk in carrol county, very,very little gobbles. 0 gobbles 2day and no hen
vocals at all, within the 4 days i was out, did have some gobbles at 11.30am last thursday, across the road
and up the hill, nothin on my side of road.... russ
Made it back to Ohio for my 3rd hunt, expectations were high as it was a picture perfect day. But only heard 1 bird on the roost which was on Private property across the road from me on Public, so couldn't do nothing with him. Never heard another bird till I struck a gobble at 11:00, no dice, 2 jakes.
What are others hearing in Ohio? Not hearing the amount of birds I use to hear there. Hoping it's just a lull or numbers are really down.
dnr says 16,000-18,000 birds on web site
I hunted today and didn't hear a single gobble. I am not seeing birds either. Strange time here.

I went out again yesterday and the morning gobbles were spares here as well. Later in the day (11'ish) I started hearing gobblers as they were wondering around. Not a single one responded to any of my calls. I'm a newbie turkey hunter (second year) but arn't they out looking for hens at that time of day generally?
My son and I hunted yesterday morning and finally had a vocal bird. He gobbled a lot. A brushpile saved his life for now but we'll be back!!
Heard a few this morning. Warmer weather should help out
Recently had a group of 12 Jakes show up and start strutting around and gobbling at each other here in SW Ohio. Funny to watch! :turkey2: :z-guntootsmiley:
This morning was a crystal clear, dead still, brisk morning. 31 degrees when I got out of the truck and it was the best gobbling morning I have had yet this year. was moving in trying to pinpoint a birds location and I misjudged him. Before I could get out I realized the group was about to walk right by me. 2 big gobblers, a jake, and a few hens. Luckily they didn't spook! That will get the blood pumping for season.
Ashtabula report.Monday limited gobbling but did have a bird working for around 30 minutes at 8:30 and then silent.heading south tomorrow for 5 days then off to pa for opener.good luck too all.
hunted the last 2 days killed one each day beeen hammering middle of the day
