The weather!?

[Machias]

They have been gobbling up a storm the past two weeks in the West Plains area outside of Spokane.  They have just started breaking into smaller groups.

Seems like its just depending who you talk with...some are saying bird counts are way down..some are coming back...some gobble some dont...dont think any of us are going to know anything till we hit the call april 15th.

Turkeydancer-- Very few and discrete calls, no attempt to call in, and using a call I will not hunt with.  I don't feel a remote problem

Good deal HangFire and good luck ....

These nests that are being observed by you and your friend, are these wild birds and sites or captive birds?  If captive birds that could make a difference.

I drove around this morning in lower Stevens county. The large flock I had been seeing disappeared when the farmer started tilling his land. I have not heard a gobble  yet.  I finally found a different large flock, on posted land today.  From the road they gave no responce to my calling.  I did see a couple birds fanned out, but they do that year around. I then took a 3 mile walk looking and listening.  I also did some box calling.  I never saw a track, dropping or heard a thing. In the area where I was at, I don't think they have broke up from winter flocks at all. The area I walked, I have never walked with out seeing sign or hearing birds.

Our weather in NE is cooler and rainier than it has been.

Both.
