It will get better when it warms up some. No gobbling that I could hear south of Florence but that a couple of 2 year old birds sneak in

It wasn't opening day but on the 2nd day my brother got it done. Heard one gobble on the roost and one about 15 minutes before he showed up strutting. He came in quiet. Maybe he was as cold as we were!

I listened for birds every morning this week and hunted yesterday and today. Not one single gobble. Hopefully the fair weather hunters will start fishing!  :TooFunny:

Cold, cloudy and windy.  Didn't hear a single gobble.  Bumped one off the roost while walking in.  Managed to call in a hen.  Fun morning.

I managed to get one Saturday morning.  Finally heard one gobble at 6:53 when some loggers cranked up a tree cutter. Gobbled maybe 15 times on the limb and 5 times on the ground. 3 yr old.

Man I hunted the draw hunt at Bienville the first two days and walked nearly 20 miles never saw or heard a bird. Only found two tracks. As a new turkey hunter I don't know what else to do. We did flush a covey of bob white quail that  made me step back that was the only action we had.

It will all turn back around as fast as it stopped. Hang in there. A good hard earned bird makes it even more bitter sweet when everything lines up.

Heard lots of gobbling Sat. morning in north MS.  Saw a group of 50+ birds with about 7 strutters.  Gobblers were fighting pretty good for about 2 hours.  Hopefully over the next week those groups start to break up.

I finally connected on a 3 year old this morning. Gobbled 8 or so times on the limb and 4 times on the ground. 45 minutes of staying quiet after getting him started , he came in drumming. Shot him at 30 yards. Awesome hunt.
