Thanks for the reply's and opinions. One thing I forgot to mention in my first post is the four days we hunted, each day was sunny, some days more windy than others. I was thinking about the barometric pressure changes also. We did notice, the later days in the hunt, the moon was in the sky during day light hours. As I mentioned in my first post, the mid day gobbling, and roaming came to a halt. Our group of four noticed the difference in a 4 hr window, continuing into the last day and half of the hunt. Something changed in the birds behavior, and made it very interesting to me.
I know in my own experience how the full moon affects deer movement. Not comparing a turkey to a deer, but does a full moon make the birds restless in the roost, or does it increase activity for the predators ie: owls, coyotes, bobcats.
As far as the people thing, my F-I-L is a retired police officer, and my daughter is also a emergency room RN. too many stories to write here.
I know we laugh at the "walnut sized brain thing", but they are a interesting game bird, we can't get enough of.
