We have been unseasonably warm here and I ahve heard several people say that they are seeing birds strutting already. Hopefully it will cool back off for a month. reflex264

guesswho

I've been seeing a few.  Even had some on one of my cams this weekend. 
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

Yes, they are strutting hard and gobbling hard here in GA, but they are still running in all gobbler and all hen groups. They will mingle together, but the ladies arent as ready as the boys yet.

You could have right up until you made those two statements.  You know how I am about funny gobblers,.

Might kill him the last day ;D

Its strange how that 5th bird always comes on April 30th. That has been a pretty lucky day for me for a long time. :D

Yes....they have been strutting in SW Georgia. The cool snap this weekend probably slowed it back down though.
