What y'all hearing this weekend? I can't hunt until next weekend due to being in a wedding this weekend (couldn't get out of it). So anyways, what were the birds' temperature?
Yesterday was probly my worst opener ever, never hear a single gobble all day and covered miles. Today was better, heard two on roost, had one and three hens in range just too thick for a shot, got to watch him breed one of them hens. He gobbled till 10
Man...what does a tom have to do for a little privacy???? Glad to hear you had a little action.... will be there tomorrow.... hoping that it just gets better every day.

Hope the groom wasn't a turkey hunter. Anniversary on opening weekend of the season every year! You should have got him outta there :newmascot:
I heard 5 in Jefferson county. One of the best gobbling mornings I have had in a long time. Every bit of 100 between them. Henned up as expected this early. Managed to get the strutted to break loose around 915. Coming through that hardwood bottom was a grand sight. Took him for a ride. 10"
Beard and 1-1/4" hooks.
The groom is only a deer hunter fortunately.
Congrats on the nice bird. :turkey2:
quite as a church mouse in simpson co.

I don't think I could be friends with that guy.....
Heard 8 on the roost. Once they hit the ground, the big boys went silent and the jakes gobbled til 9AM. Called one in to my buddy at about 10AM that came in silent but his gun malfunctioned.
Nothing was heard Saturday with the light rain and fog. Only one was heard yesterday gobbling, about 7 times then the hens got to him. This morning I heard about 7 different birds gobbling and they all seemed to get henned up, couldn't work any of them but was nice to hear em sounding off finally.
I did manage to kill one Sunday morning that never gobbled but came in with 18 hens. All I could hear was him spitting and drumming until he cleared the thicket. Great stuff.
This was in Madison county.

Light showers and no gobbling Saturday morning. Maybe things will get better with the warmer weather. Just hope the rain goes away and it stays dry for awhile.
Saturday morning heard nothing from the roost. Heard one bird around 10:00.
Sunday morning was very hopeful but heard nothing.
Buddy of mine said he didn't hear any Saturday as well.
I made a major mistake getting married during turkey season even though it is the third week. I need my fix. :happy0064: :turkey2:
Looks like the rain is coming back starting tommorrow :P

most of the weekend in Ms.
I was in Attala County Saturday and Sunday and heard one bird gobble twice on the roost Sunday. It was super quiet all weekend up there. I did see one gobbler with six hens Saturday morning but he never gobbled. Just strutted with the hens on an adjacent property.
Came back home to Amite County and the birds were on fire. Heard 5 different birds on the roost Monday morning and they prolly gobbled 150 times all together. Two birds continued gobbling on the ground but were henned up and never paid any attention to me. Tuesday morning heard 4 different birds on the roost that gobbled about 100 times but same result. Hit the ground and went with hens. I did see two strutters with hens on a gasline around 12:30 and eased in to set up on them. They were gone when I got there but I stayed and called for a while and was able to call in a hen with a jake and longbeard in tow. He never strutted or gobbled but I let him have it anyways at 20 yds. This is just my third season turkey hunting and just my second bird taken so I was still pretty pumped.
