Title: Phantom gobbles
Post by: Wisgobbler on June 04, 2019, 10:45:50 AM
So ya see doc, the thing is, I keep hearing these turkey gobbles. I hear them in town, I hear them at work, I hear them in the supermarket.
I heard one this morning as I opened my eyes. It startled me so much that I reached for my gun, (which plainly wasn't even there) so quickly that I knocked my wife right out of the bed.
This in turn startled her and she made so much noise when she hit the floor screaming that if there was a gobbler there he spooked and took off and I'll never really know...
I kept hissing at her to "Get down against that big oak and shut up!" And, that's how I got hit in the head with the alarm clock and why I need the stitches......

Funny you say this. During seasons of good gobbling(which hasn't been for a long time as I did not hear even one this entire season) I to have heard fantom gobbles. Sometimes at work at the grocery store. Could Be anywhere For That matter.

I know you fellas are joking but during turkey season here in SC, and after spending all day or days in the woods, I can still hear song birds and crows in the background at home in a quiet house as I am drifting off to sleep at night. It's sort of white noise I guess you would say. It's not entirely a bad thing. And fwiw, if I thought I heard a gobble then 9 out of 10 times I did hear a gobble.

 Heard one this morning as I was walking out the door. Only to hear it again and again darn bird was real this morning. Not sure what had him fired up but he was singing as if it was a early spring morning. Guess they are not all phantom gobblers.
