6:41-
I've come to the conclusion that turkey's are bi-polar. This time yesterday, you couldn't hear yourself think for all the gobbling. Today, not one peep! Wish I knew what caused it. Oh well, I know they are here someplace.

Pretty quiet here too. I haven't heard a whipperwill in years. I've got a lot of crow calling though . Wind is calm and 60 degrees...
Saw nothing here yesterday evening. I hope it's not a repeat this morning.
I skipped church worship this morning as this will be the last good morning weatherwise for awhile. Of course I held my own personal worship right here in my pop up blind...

It's a fantastic church in which to worship! It's funny, the whip-poor-wills must have just moved in. I'd never heard them before but they've been loud and proud the last 3 mornings. Two pair, I think. Pretty songs...glad to have them. They keep me company before daylight comes. Still not one gobble... Although I've heard 3 gunshots so far. Make that 4!

I normally start hearing Whip-Poor-Wills in mid May around my place. We also have Chuck-Will's-Widows too. |

Still not a single gobble. It's ponderous...what makes every male turkey in an area unanimously agree to go mute for a day? Is it barometric pressure? Wind direction? Weather fronts? Or something more sinister...like a plot to mess with our minds?
Yesterday, this area was a veritable cacophony of ecstatic gobbles from 6:05 to 10. Today, the silence is deafening. One of life's great mysteries.

I'm going to hunt until 10:30 and then concede defeat. Need to put in a little family time before the weekend runs out.
It's been a great 3 days. Should be going home with a cooler full of turkey meat but that's the breaks. Had at least one turkey up close all three days. I can't complain.

No gobbling again in brown county. Not seeing much sign either. One lone big hen I see every time out.

greetings metamorahunter
Seems to me like your Turkeys are like my roe deer, if they are moving they are all moving and i want to be everywhere at once and if they are not then none are moving.
I am plumbing on barometric pressure, certainly sometime gets these creatures moving that we as humans cannot sense.
Keep plugging away it will come right. yelp yelp gobble gobble
regards
Billy

I know one thing for sure... It's getting WARM inside this blind. I've done shed the lightweight jacket and my long sleeve T shirt. First time this season I am down to a short sleeve T shirt..
Wind is picking up too....

Gobbled like mad on the roost this morning but shut up as soon as they hit the ground.
My "guide" and I tossed around two spots to set up and wouldn't you know 5 long beards walked directly over the spot we decided against. Nothing close enough to kill at the spot we decided on.....
Knocked about a thousand feathers off one yesterday morning but did not get him.
Been 3 birds killed off my farm and the neighboring property and we still heard no less than 10 birds gobbling on roost this morning.

This is all I saw today. He appeared to me to be a three year old. He was pretty gaunt looking. His hip and shoulder bones were very pronounced..  |

Oh well, I know they are here someplace. I have came to the conclusion that talking to turkeys are like me talking to my wife. One minute the conversation seems great, and the next I am getting the cold should and left wondering "was it something I said?" |

Not a day goes by that I don't see several Turkeys out in my back field. I am certain two have nests nearby my home.
