[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5092372, member: 2805"] I just don't get your turkeys muddyboots. They are the only turkeys in the country that only gobble before hens are bred, then don't say a word after peak nest initiation. Everywhere else in the country, the most intense gobbling (in those places gobblers haven't already been killed) are right after hens initiate nests and start laying. Coincidentally, those gobbling toms are also those toms most likely to come to a call. There's a reason the biggest and most dominant toms are killed at the end of the season (unless cheaters kill them with strutter decoys early). Opening season statewide 2 weeks later will be a BOON for everyone except for you when it comes to the quality of hunting, and would be an even bigger boon to the turkeys themselves. The alternative is a 1 bird per year limit. Kill his ass when every you want, however you want. .. but your done once you killed one till Jan 1 2022. I'm fine if the state let's you kill a single gobbling turkey in January and you put up the gun. Something isn't right with your habitat if your birds ony gobble early season with no hunting pressure. Hens must be leaving your place when it's time to nest and pulling toms with them to other properties or there are no toms left on the flock if there is no gobbling mid April. [/QUOTE]
