[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5596856, member: 2805"] Toms will be even more fired up in 2w than right now.... but if you don't have good nesting habitat, you may not have any to play with. Subflocks are just now breaking up into actual breeding flocks, and hens are venturing out from their winter/ early spring grounds looking for suitable nesting and brood rearing habitat. The toms are following the hens. The satellite toms are just starting to desperately look for their own hens to claim, so they are on the move as well. I just had a small flock show up yesterday on one of my farms we don't hunt. Haven't had a bird on it since last summer, but 1.5 miles down the road the winter flock had 12 toms and about 50 hens. I'm hoping its from all the habitat improvement I've done on it over the past 4 years. Last year I had 1 tom and 3 hens using it all of April- June. Not hunting it hoping to get hens to imprint on it and hatch successfully, so in the future there will be a huntable flock that uses it every year. [/QUOTE]
