i have yet to hear one gobble in over two weeks! what the crap! gobbler tracks in the roads, but no gobbling and zero sightings of them in over two weeks! your thoughts?

Yuo cant make them gobble if they dont want to. Probably covered up with hens at the moment and dont have a need to gobble.

Our birds are quiet rigth now, but it always changes the first of April. You can still kill them but it requires more patience and a little more work to find them. Stick with it.

hens hens and more hens. some birds are still in gobbler groups too and are just walking around looking for a fight. Be there when they are ready to fight and show them who's boss.

We had the same problem this weekend. Went both mornings and nobody heard a gobble. Frustrating but always good to be in the woods. I know they'll be hot when I get back out there in two weeks.

went to cahaba wma sat and we heard NOTHING, not even a shot. Went to oakmulgee sunday and heard quite a few birds and got set up on two gobbling only to get cut off by hens!

I heard a few friday morning and fooled with one still gobbling til 11:30,the last three days I've heard 3 or 4 gobbles and that's it,they just ain't ready in my neck of the woods

well i like to believe the whole hen thing, but i am not even hearing them. the only tracks i have seen on the property are all long beard tracks. This is over 300 acres of land that is never pressured. Maybe hunted 2-3 times a year. The farmer says he would see 20-30 a day in the fields and pastures, but nothing in two weeks. i figured even if they were henned up i would hear the hens or even be able to glass and see them in one of the 5 fields. and these are 20-30 acres fields and pastures. with big creeks running between all of them. i just don't get it.....

The vocal ones get killed/eaten.

one thing you need to remember about when a turkey gobbles,is that he is trying to call hens,but that is also his long range call,he also calls hens by drumming,and you dont hear this a long way off. Gobblers are vocal this time of year,but we just don't get to hear all of it, when they break up and scatter out good you will hear more gobbling,because each bird is trying to call in his own harem of hens,give it a few more hunts before you get discouraged,we are still a few days away from the prime gobbling time of year,and as far as the hens go they really don't have to be very vocal at any time,simply because they will just go to a gobbler,and don't need to be cuttin up,not saying they don't just saying they don't have to.

Same thing here in east central bama. I have been on my hunting club and public land in different counties, nothing happening yet! But it's better to be early than late!
