walleyewess Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
engfish Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticknstring Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laker1 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

DonBo Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgy17 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laker1 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 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.
