I did opening weekend in Alabama. The birds were still bunched up. Wasn't able to call a tom away. Unfortunately they were roosted off the property and did come our way those three days. Our fields and creek banks were full of tracks, so I know they had been on our side of the fence, just not while we were there.

They gobbled decent on the limb and just after fly down. A few hens were vocal.

Looking forward to this weekend, but don't have real high hopes of hot birds. It's just a little cold and a little early.

I hunted North MS (Walnut) last weekend and I would agree that it's still a little early.  They weren't gobbling much on the roost and it was all quiet by 7:15 or 7:30.  Like Wiskey said, they're still bunched up but they seem to be in smaller groups than a few weeks ago when I was scouting.  I found a few singles that wanted to play but I covered a lot of ground looking for them.  I was fortunate enough to take a bird Saturday and another Sunday.  I posted a couple pictures on the kill thread.

Checked on the birds Sat. and Sun. at the river. Sat. heard 2 birds on the roost and only 1 gobble on the ground. Went to the exact same spot Sun. and heard at least 8 different birds. They seemed to be roosted apart and at flydown met up in the middle of the bottoms. Only heard 1 hen yelping during all their gobbling. They gobbled good up until around 8am then they shut it down. Gonna check on them again in a week. I believe our season is gonna come in just right on the 1st of April.

Been hunting here in Mississippi and its been slow. Very little gobbling, did get on a bird this morning 70 yards is as close as he got. Taking a road trip up to Tennessee in a couple weeks to hunt with Westtnhunter we got drawn for LBL and we'll hunt some private land also.

Went to SoDak with Bird and another gent this week.  Bird and I both shot doubles in the first few hours of getting there.  Bob busted a head Monday.  We got pushed out by the blizzard on Tues.  not high scoring birds, low 50's but it sure was nice to get a couple under the belt to start the year.   I will post up some pics when my computer is working!  Be safe gents!
