What's the most gobblers you've heard on the roost? When & where was it?

[TauntoHawk]

Hard to count once you get over 10 birds going but I know this year in NE I know the first morning we had 16 round fans and uncountable numbers of jakes and they gobbled a ton on the roost, 2 years ago opening day in Greene Ny I had 12 longbeards and 21 jakes in a single flock.. In the fall I've actually heard even more when they get into flocks of 150-200 birds there can be a ton of gobbling even into November on a nice morning its almost hard to hunt deer when the mountain is that noisy.

16 birds in avery co nc in the late 90s. funny thing was that same season, I never heard more than 2 there before or after that particular morning.

8 for sure different birds on a private lease in N FL in the early 2000s.  Probably at least a couple of them were pairs, but were for sure 8 different distances and/or directions.  Some were in the river swamp and some were in the pine woods.

Its not uncommon to go out to a spot and listen in the morning and hear 10 within ear shot. One morning I heard 3 in the same tree, I know cause I was there when they all 3 flew down.

Couldn't remember and just looked it up. That'd be it! This was back in 2006. Heard they had a sharp decline shortly thereafter.

I have no idea how many there were, but a couple of times an entire river bottom in Missouri would rattle for as far as I could hear back in the late '80s / early '90s.

I have hunted South Mississippi all my life but in 1996 in the MO Ozarks the morning before the season opened I heard more turkeys gobble than I thought were in the world!! Since then I've made many out of state hunting trips and heard a bunch but I'll never forget that morning. I've killed a bunch of turkeys but that morning just listening was special and is forever etched in my memory.

I never saw it personally. But when buddy first got on a lease out there he said it was crazy how many birds were there. I went in 2012 and didn't see a track. But I did killed a few from there this year. So maybe they are making a come back.

Bunch more than you could have counted. They were as far to the left and as far to the right as you could hear. Heard them like this for years but this past year somthing has happened. Only heard or seem 38 toms and 62 hens in 4 days of survey. Its a shame.

[Bolandstrutters]

Probably the first year I started turkey hunting in Missouri.  2002, freshman in highschool.  Our 400 acre farm, all timber, was absolutely infested with gobblers.  Wouldn't be anything to hear 20 different birds on a good morning.  It stayed that way for a few years and then took a sharp decline.  Got really tough for about 5 years and then has gotten pretty good the last 5 years.  on a good morning currenty, i hear 5-6 birds on the roost. 

[Tomfoolery]

Too many to count. Probably around 40-50. Several years ago in junction tx.

[Gooserbat]

2015 Missouri opener I heard either 21 or 22. 

Back around 2000 I am sure I heard that many or more in SE Oklahoma but those days are past.

This guy made the Missouri woods one gobbler short that morning.

Using the same roost I'd say at least 8 and maybe more.  It's still my favorite spot to hunt but I don't hit it much any more.  I ain't gonna say where it's at!   

By the way, it's Public ground but kinda hard to get to.
