Sorry no pics cause I was driving. I did see a strutter up in Michigan today. I thought it was a little early for that type of activity. Maybe one of you biologist can explain why birds would be strutting in early March.

The red wine and roses were a dead giveaway.

They strut all year long but now as much during the breeding season. It is fun to watch them but more fun to call them during the season. If you call year round to the ones you hunt good luck on call them. Steady

Matt H. and I sat on stand in Brown County this past fall and we watched several gobblers fly from limb to limb as they moved across the woods..... Those were the last birds I saw and man I'm anxious to see a big ol' boy strutting across a field!

They typically start strutting on a more continual basis come March in southern MI and IN. Just give it another month, people will be complaining that our season starts too late.

Kentucky starts their season at the correct time and on a Saturday. The good thing about Indiana being late is usually the last weekend there are some lonely gobblers (depending on nesting and population) that will come from a mile away to anything that sounds remotely like a hen.

Yeah but that doesn't matter when I already have my gobbler in the deep fryer... ;D |
