It's been nearly that bad for me. Heard a few pretty far off.
Crappy gobbling year?

Worst year I have ever encountered in the state of Tennessee
Another quiet morning. I had hopes it would get better but I'm beginning to wonder.
Bout average in Blount/Knox counties were I hunt

I cannot give an accurate account for this year, I've only been out 5 mornings. However, it's not been as good as I've expected nor as good as what I've read on here.
Yesterday morning I hunted, bird gobbled 43 times in the roost. Flew down across property line and gobbled no more than 3 times.
Hunted this morning in a different spot, different county. Un-hunted farm, surrounded by virtually zero hunting pressure. 2 roost gobbles, called in 3 hens. Heard the Tom's gobble a hand full more times deep in the woods, snuck in and seen one strutting around a hen in a slightly open spot deep in woods. Only time I could get him to respond was with some hard core cutting, he did that twice. Finally had to leave around 10am.
Opening morning was decent but birds stayed in neighbors.
Sunday of opener I heard zero on roost, struck one up on another farm at 9:15 and had him dead by 10am. Only bird I heard.
This is Montgomery and Dickson county. Overall it's been less than normal but then again I haven't hunted nearly as much.
