Saw a gobbler in full strut all by himself on Saturday. And this was in Randolph County.

Red you sure that was a turkey? Might have been one of my farmer friends walkin the fields!

No scouting for me so far. Not that many turkeys in this part of Wayne County anyway.

Went Sunday morning in Jefferson County with the landowner and just watched a little. Six or seven different toms literally gobbling their heads off for over two hours. Three tom's came strutting down the lane with three hens. We left and went fishing about 9 and the toms were still gobbling like they hadn't seen a hen in months. The landowner got some good pictures since at one point the three strutting toms were about 20 yards away.

Heard the first birds gobbling in Indiana on March 2. Saw the first strutters (3) on March 5. Heard birds one morning from then until early last week when I started hearing them every morning. A field about 1/2 mile from my house seems to have 1-7 birds strutting in it at anytime of the day. This morning tere were even two jakes strutting.

Yeah pretty much.... The dog hadn't been there long as it wasn't stinking yet and critters had not been messing with it...

Went this morning and heard a few gobbling pretty good, but my scouting quickly turned to retrieving trophies.

Yep trophy rocks! He told me last night he wanted to wake up and go, so I thought I would try figuring he wouldnt get up, but man he jumped up like a champ, and was excited to hear the birds. We had a blast 1 turkey, 2 deer, 1 eagle and 5 trophy rocks.
