Title: NE Gobbling Status
Post by: BoneCollector1 on May 14, 2012, 04:39:20 PM: Guys,

Thinking about making a hail mary trip over tonight to the northeast corner of the state and hunting all day tomorrow. Anyone have any reports about what the birds are doing? Are they looking for hens that haven't been bred yet? What is the heat doing to their gobbling activity?

Thanks for any input!

Have Birdguy and his 2 kid's coming up this week-end... hopefully we'll get thier tags notched.... will keep you posted on what the action is.
