Very little gobbling, increased sightings of coyotes, even in the daylight hours.

Give it time, usually about 2 weeks into our season before things crank up.

But, as mentioned earlier, we don't have any turkeys in Bama.

God Bless,

Yeah man, I wish I could say the same. Good Luck!

and yea, I have  seen about 3 signs of turkeys being killed by coyotes on my place as well... they're getting to be to many of them for me.  I found a lot of turkey tracks today, one set was huge... mature bird. Maybe i'll find him soon
