Haha. I've heard them gobble in January and February before, but its not the lusty gobble of spring. I think they get confused. I saw 5 longbeards the other day next to the paved road, gave them the most god awful cackle any human could muster, and all they did was pick up their heads, look at me for a sec, then go back to scratching. We got another month and I can't wait.
