[QUOTE="gladesman60, post: 5092751, member: 21394"] In my part of Giles, south of Pulaski there are more turkeys around me than there has been in 5 or 6 seasons Last year I had 14 toms and 16 hens wintering on my 70 acres. 2 weeks before the season they were all gone but 2. I killed one of them. This year I had 24 hens and 1 gobbler. The week before the opener I had 3 hens left and another tom showed up. I killed one. Yesterday out of the blue 2 more toms showed up. In my case I believe that it is my habitat. I have about 8 acres on the top of the hill that could be considered nesting area. Thats probably only enough room for a couple of hens to nest. Thats why I believe that the hens all start to leave in late March. About 6 years ago I had 7 toms all the way up to the day before season. Day prior they were tearing it up gobbling everywhere. Opening morning, not a peep and not another gobbler on my land the rest of the season. Spring turkey shift I guess. [/QUOTE]
