[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5042943, member: 2805"] In middle TN... Birds will be on winter habitat in large flocks until the 1st-2nd weeks of March, when they begin to break up into subflocks and disperse. Those subflocks then break up into individual breeding groups and satellite bachelor groups of toms or jakes around the first week of April. Hens become receptive and start seeking nesting habitat mid April, which may cause another small shift in populations. When to start scouting depends on the individual property. I've hunted places that had zero birds until mid April. I've also hunted places that kept birds year round. I usually start listening for roost gobbling 2 weeks before season opens to get a general idea of what is where... but it isn't necessary, I just like listening to them. [/QUOTE]
