[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4212552, member: 2805"] Definetly less action this past trip up to TN than opening weekend, but I chalked it up to the front loading of the harvest. About 1/3 of the entire season's kill happens in the first week. That's a LOT fewer gobblers to chase after week one. Cut the male population by a quarter in a week, keep the same number of hens, and it translates to most adult birds having hens to tend to. They should still be gobbling just fine on the roost, but once they get with their girls, don't expect any chatter from the toms until the hens start drifting off from the group to lay. The second week of the season was definetly the best back in the 90s and early 00's. Since the kill has been so frontloaded the past decade, I prefer to hunt the first week because there are so many more birds available to hunt. [/QUOTE]
