I took a walk today, and I heard a few distant gobbles at about three. walking out, I heard a much closer bird sound off probably ten times. Do you all hear much afternoon gobbling?

Not as much as I would like,but I have tracked a few down and they all seem to be jakes out looking for strays. Once in awhile I will find a tom.

I've heard afternoon gobbles maybe 2 times, but then I don't live where turkeys do so that could explain it. I have heard one gobble on the first day of deer firearms season tho. That bird must have needed some BAD!

Hunted all day Tuesday & Wednesday(longest 2 days of my life) in good turkey country & never heard a peep after 9am. Generally, they don't gobble much in the pm at all, if any. Perhaps u can raise one shock gobbling. A nearby thunderstorm will also do the trick but be carefull.

Since Indiana went an afternoon hunt I have killed two gobblers in the afternoon.
One came in gobbling and the other silent mouthed.
I don't hear many gobblers in the afternoon. But if you do he is very killable.

I have heard several the past few weeks.
Most are shock gobbles in response to a crow call, they are not going to gobble on their own much after first light.
