I heard one gobbling this morning! Heard a crow then heard him sound off.Made wish I was turkey hunting instead of sitting in a deer stand.Especially with the way the weather was this morning.Atleast I'll have a good place to start scouting come spring.

I have been expecting someone to hear a gobbling bird........nearly ever year during a warm spell some birds will get confused & start sounding off in the AM.

I have never figured out why they gobble in the fall. I guess cause they can! Anyway like you I like to hear it makes me sad it is not Turkey season.

it happens every year, been hearin 'em gobble the first week or so of Nov. for at least 15 years.......cold or warm....coldest was 13* on 11-14-91......personally I think it might have sumthin to do with the amount of daylight....dunno just a guess......but it is always a nice sound to hear...any time of the year

I also had one gobbling Sunday morning. He gobble a half a dozen times at crows or what ever.

Sure did make me want to go after him

I had an almost perfect morning in the stand last week when I heard a gobbler sound off twice right after flydown and then had bucks chasing does by me a couple of hours later!

I heard one during the last week of bow season- he went off twice, for no apparent reason. I didn't see any deer that morning thus it was the highlite of my hunt...
