They’re cut’n up down here already

They’re not all the way serious yet, as the hen flocks aren’t completely fragmented but they’re acting very different this week. I’ve seen a few single Toms alone and bee lining it to new territory. I also saw a late evening strutter by himself Wednesday and was able to watch him desperately gobble in hopes of some companionship. I know “the science” would say I’m wrong, but I’ve also seen some hens out alone in the middle of nowhere and I believe they are nest sight searching.

While I’m burning woods, cleaning pine pollen off my truck and watching bass beds pop up in the ponds, it appears to me that spring has sprung a bit early this time, even for south GA standards.

They've been moving good the last few days. Turkeys on all of my cameras it seems

I’ve been watching 4 gobblers strutting around a hen all day today behind my house.

I have not seen our bachelors Or girls in about 2 months. Was actually asking a few other neighbors and they haven't seen them in a while either. We will see.

This ol boy has been firing off every morning for the last couple weeks. This pic was Saturday. It’s not uncommon for them to get started mid February here.

I have a no burn policy after March 7th. That’s when I have confirmed eggs on the ground in previous years. The proper opening day for this farm would be around March 15th. This new season is garbage.

Walked around a good bit yesterday, and birds still seemed grouped up. Gobblers don’t appear to have really split up yet, and still the huge groups of hens like they were in during deer season. Can’t be far off though.

You’re a bit north of me, but you’re right.

This is in NW Georgia. The huge flock of hens and big flock of gobblers has busted up into spring flocks from the looks of it.

 

[Baroque Brass]

I had a big Tom eating corn in the backyard yesterday. Having coffee on the porch and I’m hearing one gobble, I assume the same one. Now I see one in full strut down through the trees.

 

[Blackston]

Seen 2 with heads so red they were glowing, yesterday

 

[buckpasser]

These season dates are silly.

I've heard numerous birds on Clark's Hill Lake while fishing for those Paper Mouths. Always camo up and have my calls and gun if fishing during Turkey Season. Good looking slabs there Sir, good luck this season on the birds. Looks like the Luck on fishing is good.
