[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5627885, member: 2805"] I had the same experience in MS... hunted 21 days, covered 6 different counties on public, never heard a single bird. Thank goodness I had one get lost and end up on my private lease as he was the only bird I heard gobble this year. Just aren't very many turkeys in south MS. Now on my private farms in middle TN, population is up from 5y average due to good hatch 2y ago. And those birds have been WAY more vocal this year due to the increased competition from later start date. It's quite simple... more gobblers creates exponentially more gobbling as they compete against one another on the roost. Just a single gobbler who never hears another gobbler doesn't have to gobble, he just drums to his hens on the roost. And they are STILL going at it just like April 15th. Got a pic this morn from a cell cam aimed at a salt lick for deer. In the field behind the salt lick, there is a tom in full strut, head colored up with 2 hens 15 minutes ago! [/QUOTE]
