Some of us were fortunate enough to hunt or at least guide during the youth weekend. I agree with klickriverchromer.. Lot's of talk going on in the woods and a fair amount of gobbling but not much was interested in coming to a call. They seemed to be content with staying in large flocks and were more concerned with feeding than breeding. :twocents:

Post by: Gutpile on April 14, 2011, 04:42:12 PM: While at work today I saw a flock in their usual hangout down by hangman golf course and they were gobbling up a storm. I have a gobble shaker I carry around when I'm working in the boonies so I can play with them if i see them. Anyways they are all henned up but very vocal. Wish i had a camera.
