I tend to believe gobbling and breeding habits are tied to photoperiod. With that in mind, I'll bet turks have a kind of "false rut" about this time of year when day length is near what it is at breeding time. 
With that said, it sure was nice to watch a longbeard roll out 3 full gobbles last weekend. He appeared with 4 other LB's and 8 hens. I watched them strut and chase hens around for a solid half hour before splitting up into seperate groups.
Great to see, I had only seen 1 longbeard in 4 years on our lease. That combined with a cattle farmer report of seeing a flock of 40+ about 5 weeks ago on our place has me ready for spring.
