How are the birds vocalizing in your area... name the county...
Going on yet another 2 day trip sunday thru early monday afternoon. Hoping to get a chance at #4. Being my last bird for the spring I want him to be a longbeard and would like to get a show from him or have him come to my homemade tube call. But that's beside the point... I am just wanting to get an idea if I should put much time into listening or if they are going quiet in some areas and I should run n gun more. They also tend to disappear or at least shut up on public land as the season gets older. And having a known roosting area where birds always fly down onto private land has been frustrating. So what's the report for your area on gobbling, on the roost and on the ground?

Southern Middle TN this past week: 5-15 gobbles on limb between 5:40 and 6:30 if I was lucky and close enough to hear them. 10-20 mph winds at daylight with excess foliage as we have now does not help any. Virtually no gobbling on ground.

Maybe there are 2 definitions of "run and gun", but I don't know how you run and gun if they aren't gobbling.
