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.

 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.

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'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.
