Hmmm...  Saw this question on a Turkey Thugs video/YouTube I just watched...

Don't watch the video - but, answer the question.  :)

*GO*!   :turkey2:

Nope.  Some people say yes, but I say no.  I can tell you when the conditions favor gobbling, but can't tell you the turkeys will adhere to it.
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

The day(s) right before you arrive at camp, or immediately after you leave. Or, the first day your buddy hunts a spot after you've given up on it and told him to have a go.

I'll add "fuel to the flame".

One of the guys said, "Maybe -- 2 days after a front passes through, gobbling is good.  The toms have had one full day of low wind & sunlight, and gobble a lot on that 2nd morning/day".

Have you had this experience?

This is undoubtedly the easiest question ever asked on OG. It is every day that I can't go that morning.
It also occurs on the other property I hunt on the days I can go.  That's OKas long as they burn it up for somebody to hear.

Only time I can predict it is late season after its been hot, a cold front blows, and the next calm frosty morning they will hammer. Never fails to happen around first or second week of May here every year and I've yet to see em not blow the tree tops out.

Exactly!!!

No. Sometimes, the mornings you would think should be the best, turn out to be duds. Well, at least for me anyway.

Gobble!

On average, there are days you can say are not as good as others but you really never know unless your out there.

No fool proof methods I have found. High barometer days seem better than low. After a bad thunderstorm near daylight has been very good at times. Hunting pressure can play a part.
If evening gobbling is very good, morning is often good. Have had evenings hearing zero gobbles to return in AM and they went nuts though. I sure can tell you what mornings were good.lol
Before season most mornings seem good if weather is not bad. Sometimes a turkey hunter just knows or would like to think he does anyway.
