When does a gobbler start gobbling

[laker1]

April 1 too soon to go out and listen?

Do they gobble in the snow?

I heard turkeys gobbling this morning, the dog started barking then the bird gobbled and then there were a few more answers in the woods

Not only do they gobble in the snow, they are already starting to breed the hens. My buddy sent me a video yesterday he filmed with his phone right outside a yard in the west metro. There were four jakes chasing away two gobblers while the fifth jake bred the hen. Lots of snow and lots of gobbling.

Every morning will be different, but any quiet morning this time of year will have them pretty fired up. Especially that first nice morning after a few days of windy inclimate weather!

I seen the last two days about birds look like all hens(2 flocks for a total of 32 birds. Talked to a individual about 10 miles away and he seen about 20 turkeys and looked like all Toms and he usually knows what he is talking about. Do they segregate that much at certain times of the year?

Yes they do during the winter. If the weather starts to warm up they will start to disperse and fighting more for dominance.

Yep, they've been gobbling for a while now. Problem is, what you hear now and where you hear them will have little to do with where they'll be in a couple weeks after the snow's gone.

And yes, they do segregate into gender based flocks during the winter. I'm sure they're starting to mingle a bit now, more so soon as they continue to disperse from their winter haunts.

Been looking and listening in the snow,awful quite north of Little Falls.

They are really starting to go crazy down by me, most if not all my properties the turkey's are gobbling and strutting quite often.

Finally seen a old Tom strutting this morning. Been out in a lot of areas tho,and have not heard a gobble yet.

Snowing outside at the present time.

The A season may good,but I am glad I got the B season,that may be early enough.
