same here for the past 3-4 days ... i think the boys announced their presence, and are now "separating" the hens for mating ... no need to carry on like they were before ... just my hunch 'cause all i've been seeing were hens before & the gobs were stlll off by themselves ... i'm not wildlife biologist, even tho i play one on YouTube ...
Interesting, because I was confused last weekend by seeing lots of lone hens by themselves coming into my calling, but zero gobbling or gobbler sightings. This weekend I still saw some loner hens, but did hear more gobbling. So your theory is that this is due to gobblers trying to still stake out territory/hens?
