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.
