With the warmer weather coming mid to later this week, I look for them to really fire up.

About 30 degrees and no wind
Heard them across the road at 1st light until about 6:45 am
Sounded like 3 or 4 in the same area.
12:30 pm went out back and heard a hen behind the house carrying on until the dog scared her.
Still a little chilly and a light wind, but they are finally showing some signs of life.

I went to one of the spots I'm taking a youth to next weekend. Heard a few birds, but nothing close. Went to leave and what looked like 4 jakes ran across the road. A little further down the road saw 5 more birds but couldn't tell what they were, running across the road. It seems like they were there, just no vocal.

Went back to near the same spot. Gobbles started about 6 am until I had to leave at 7 am.

Late post, but was in Tioga 5/6 and Tom's Gobbled and strutted but where with hen's. Could not get them to come my way nor the dominate hen.

I had Tom gobblin' and carrying on circled right around me. Was beginning to doubt my calling ability. Just like a hen start clucking and yelping like crazy. That Tom just kept going down over the hill with hen chasing him. He never paused or stopped just kept going. The hen ran within 10 ft of me running after him.

I feel better about my calling.

Spent yesterday morning in my blind due to rain. Nothing until about 9:30. Then had one gobble a couple hundred yards below me. Got an occasional gobble from him until quitting time, but nothing close. He wasn't interested, so I suspect hens. Probably one of the ones left from the 6 we were watching. Buddy of mine filled his 2 tags. One on 1st day. He watched it for over an hour about 80-90 yards away. Never gobbled one time, just strutted. Finally he came just a little too close.....game over. Nice bird with about 8 inch beard. When I got in my blind Sat. waiting for me were a couple feathers. His sign that he had bagged another during the week. Didn't get to talk to him about those details.
