I was wondering if any of yall had went out to listen yet and if the birds were starting to :gobble: in your area .I am in millry and I went this morning and heard one,he gobbled a little
Heard one in Louisiana this morning...............
I heard one gobble this morning about 10:00, sounded like a jake to me.....but I'm a little over half deaf. :'( I did find a couple promising strut zones....that's a good indicator.
Friend of mine heard several Sunday morning this would be a little south of Birmingham AL.
That's good to hear it won't be long now ,the one I heard didn't gobble till 7:30 .there is some older birds where I am at this year,during deer season I saw some good ones.I am the only one who hunts birds on this land witch is around 1500 acres all to myself. last year was my first year to hunt it and in 4 years there has only been 7 taken off it.I got my 5 and called 2 for a buddy of mine
Sounds like a good situation, good luck and dont mess em up till they are flopping. :fud:
Down here just north of Monroeville,I have been out a few mornings.They are not gobbling as well as I would have expected.Still,I am finding plenty of sign such as gobbler tracks. droppings and strut marks.Also, I have seen several gobblers with hens already.If you want to see some good pics from Tennessee, google up J Hook Guide Service and check out the toms strutting with hens in the snow.
Yall have taken some good toms J Hooks by the looks of some of the pics , good luck this year
I got out Friday morning to scout for the youth season in Ozark and got one to gobble to an Owl hoot on the roost. Ten minutes later found two more Gobblers in a green field that were silent... Greenfields were covered in popcorn, everything looks good, just they are not quite as vocal on the ground yet as I like em to be.

I guess its good that they have been so silent,that way they haven't gobbled out by the time season comes in. But they need to start pretty fast now at least within the next 10 days
I live in millry also so thats good to hear. I'm going to listen in the morning hopefully I can hear something.
I hope they get started quick because I'm taking vacation the 1st wk of season.
So it is a small world after all, I probably know ya
One of my hunting buddies lives in Hobson.
who is that J Hook if ya dont mind me asking
My partner that I grew up with in Tennessee and myself.I am the one living in Uriah, Al. I moved down here in 1983.In the picture of the two of us on the website,I am the PRETTY one.
:lol:
They are starting to jar the ground good had one gobble at least a 100 times this morning along with 3 more that gobbled a little.I cant wait
I'm going to listen in the morning. I got to go out of town to a wedding this weekend so I won't get to listen any. I will be in the woods ready to go Tuesday morning.

I will be in the woods Saturday morning in Monroe County guiding a friends daughter.
Here in Central Alabama I had two big birds and six hens come out in my front yard Saturday around 10:30 a.m. One of the gobblers put on a show, struttin and gobblin. I love livin in the woods. Yall have a good season
