[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5058195, member: 1409"] Agree, and would add to this (typically still related to that hunting pressure): [B]1) [/B] More adult gobblers (longbeards) per hen = more gobbling, typically a lot more gobbling, especially when there are high numbers of the most vocal "young & dumb" 2-yr-old Toms. [B]2) [/B] Older Toms tend to gobble less than younger ones. But if you have a good number of longbeards, they all tend to gobble more regardless of age. Back when TN had a 2-bird limit, I believe much of the reason there was so much more gobbling was because we had a higher ratio of male birds to female birds. [/QUOTE]
