[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5616386, member: 2805"] Today was a repeat of yesterday (and the other 8 days I've hunted in TN)... Just INSANE gobbling in middle TN. Hunted a couple birds on a farm that hasn't been touched in a week. They blew the barn doors off on the roost, but hens pitched out of the tree and landed 5y behind us in the woods. When they moved off without spooking, I told my son to turn around and face uphill and get his gun up. About 5 min later, the toms popped out of the thick stuff at 10y. Yup... gun in his lap. They clucked at us and moved off only slightly spooked. 10 min later they were back to hammering. We made a loop around them with them free gobbling in the woods the whole time. I messed up the repositioning tho. All the while I heard a bird 1000y away to the north that gobbled 50x and another 800y to the east that gobbled 20x. Headed to the farm that I called in the hard gobbling duo midmorning yesterday... yup, same thing.... struck them set up, they gobbled on the way in, but unfortunately I called in a real hen that then broke off and headed to them when they were about 75y away in the woods... that shut them up. I seriously haven't heard this much gobbling since the early 2000s. Many fewer toms than then, but they are just so much more desperate this time of the year. [/QUOTE]
