[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5058162, member: 2805"] The number one correlating factor to lack of gobbling amount/ frequency is hunter pressure. Not sure if that is your local issue. I really did not enjoy turkey hunting in MS the first decade and a half after I moved here because I was so spoiled hunting in middle TN where the birds where MUCH more vocal and there were so many more birds available to hunt. It was nothing to watch a bird gobble back at me through binoculars 800 yards away and not even be able to hear the gobble. What I've found out now in MS where birds gobble less frequently is that they will often never respond to owl hoots, crow calls, or even hen yelps unless you are within their bubble...say 75 to 100 yards. Once you are within their bubble, they actually seem to gobble almost as much as my TN birds. Get used to it... that's the way its going to be in south AL as well :) [/QUOTE]
