Why are the toms still grouped up?

Yesterday I saw 5 jakes at daybreak fly down and chase each other about and then about 9:00 I saw 7 longbeards in a field together showing off.  I have also seen the occasional hen waltzing about and have called in several.  They may gobble but not consistant and  don't bither to come in.  This is in the EP of WV.
