Good gobbling on the roost and dead quiet all day. I've got 2 more hours to hunt, will see if anything changes. What about y'all.

Birds gobbled almost all day here, they lit it up on the roost, quiet right when they flew down, then went nuts after 30 mins or so.
 
First gobble was at 6:09 and they hollered good on the limb and on the ground...until they hooked up with hens. :roll: They definitely weren't on fire but did gobble sporadically all morning.
 
Had a couple fire up in the last hour or so. Been quiet for a little while now.

Three gobbled fair on the roost and then pretty good for almost an hour on the ground, just on the neighbors property. Only birds I heard, but did hear 18 shots by 715. Some were either follow ups or second birds. More shooting than I've ever heard in one morning of hunting deer or turkey. Only time close to that was opening afternoon of muzzleloader 2 years ago. Thankfully, none of the shots were close enough for me to think "they got one of ""my"" birds"!
 
Birds lit up right before sunset. Had one hammering at owls and came to within 40 yards and pitched up to a tree 13 minutes after sunset. Another bird has gobbled a bunch on the limb further down the ridge and is still gobbling. I had plans to hunt elsewhere tomorrow but it's hard to turn away from these...

Get em cat! Never heard a bird or shot. Only heard of one being killed and it was on private.
 
I only head one gobble this morning. Had one get close enough that I could hear him drumming this evening but no gobble. Three birds did light up on roost this evening though. May have to swing by before church and hope for the best.

Gobbling every direction this morning. Walked 100 yards. I'll spare the details of a bad sinus/asthma issue walked back to truck and went back to bed. 1st opening morning I've ever missed since I started hunting turkeys.

Another dead quiet day except for the early morning.

Same here in southern Maury County. I have yet to even lay eyes on a turkey in two days of hunting, they gobbled decent both mornings til they hit the ground then nothing. I hope it picks up this week!
 
I'm bummed to hear it's been so slow, but at least I'm not the only one. Went to a couple locations this evening and didn't hear much. Possibly something, buy it was really far.

hunted natchez trace from dark to dark saturday and today....birds gobbled good on the roost and maybe 5 times once on the ground then dead quiet. I was able to strike up a bird at 12 on saturday and we struck one up at 1 pm today. brother struck one up around 2 pm yesterday also they would gobble 5-10 times then dead quiet. gobbles are non-existent up until time to roost however we heard 0 gobbles this evening.
 
Had a great hunt this morning. Two gobblers were with the loudest hen I've heard since a couple of years ago on this same ridge. I'm really leaning toward it being the same one. She yelped then started cutting/cackling mixed in. The gobblers didn't gobble much but got a little fired up when I joined in the party. Finally I saw two red heads to my right but the gobbling had been straight out from me. These weren't the ones doing the gobbling. They were antsy and I couldn't get a good view of the beards. I knew the young fella I was with would be happy with a jake so I told him to shoot if possible but he couldn't get a clean shot. I finally saw a beard and it was curved but I couldn't tell how long. I passed. They eased off so we decided to slip out as it was time for us head out to get back for church. She was still yelping as we were leaving. Great hunt.
 
I heard good gobbling this morning. The bird that caught me off guard never made a peep but that was after his buddy was shot off the roost by some other hunters. Heard one gobble around 2:30 today but couldn't get him to come. Didn't get to stay until sunset. Good weekend even though I didn't kill. Had the opportunity to kill 2 just blew them.

Drove back up to Natchez trace and got in on a bird we struck up a noon yesterday the birds gobbled from 6:30 onto the ground to gobble up until 11 am I had birds east and west of me both gobbling but they would not commit to approaching me. The lone bird did close a significant amount of ground but hung up just out of view about 70 yds. Not much I could have done that I knew of. A hen started cutting up around 2 which fired a Tom up but nothing came of it, with 2 all day sits and this morning hunt up into 330 pm my back had had enough I packed it up and came home. I will say there are some birds up there
 
Sun is setting here, been hunting since noon, another dead quiet day. Seen a few hens
