For anyone who hunts SW Alabama (I hunt Conecuh & Escambia counties), when do you usually start to hear gobbling? I'm over 4hrs from our lease and can't go as often as I'd like, which means typically one or two weekends during turkey season. We have members who say after mid-April is when they start going in So. Alabama. What you're experience/recommendation for this part of the state?
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

^^ yeah, don’t listen to those guys. exactly; don't have to gobble to die ... i'm blessed that my very 1st bird never said a damn thing & took a Mossberg 835 dirt nap right off the roost it's fun when they gobble & act "right" but any more i like it when i "surprise" the chit out of them

Ok...i'm with you fellas. Thanks for the input. Guess it'll be the "go when you can, as often as you can" approach. Which is perfect!!

I’ve hunted that part of the state ever. I wouldn’t miss the first 2 weekends if I were you.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

Best time to turkey hunt is when you can.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

We have members who say after mid-April is when they start going in So. Alabama. Guess they wouldn’t have any reason to lie about it Turkey hunters would never lie!
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

Forgot to add, I work Conecuh Co. some, you can PM a map and written permission and I'll help with your turkeys since no one has mentioned it yet

Heard 4 yesterday morning SHHHHHH!!!!! No you didn't. They only gobble in December and early January in our area.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

I hunt in Barbour. I usually hear my first gobble of the year at daybreak on March 15’th.
Then I head off to murder that mother smacker.
