I stopped on the way home from work one morning week before this past one and heard some birds. I think there were about 10 gobbling, but it was hard to tell. They were all in one woods and roosted together. The pictures I have been getting have a couple together and a couple by themselves, but I don't think they have split up good yet.

About 5 minutes ago, I stepped onto the front porch and heard a gobbler sound off across the road. Good stuff!! This is in Morgan County by the way....

Lonnie.............they've been gobbling for 3 weeks or better here around the house. Been hearing alot of birds down where you guys hunt while running the dogs. I was at Waveland today fishin and heard 2 different birds over there this morning. We saw one this morning fly off the roost and had the company of 6 hens out in the field w/ him 15 mins after he hit the ground. He put on a heck of a show.
If you want to hear some birds Lonnie just come down to the house and we'll sit out on the back porch, drink some coffee, and listen to 'em all you want! LOL!

I got some video off of one of my cameras Saturday and from the looks of the beard on one of the hens, she has been spending some time on the nest.
