I'm seeing more than ever this year!!!!!!
And we see a lot in the fall in the first place so seeing MORE has really got us fired up!!!
Wife and our son were hunting a buddy stand Sunday mornin week before last. They said they heard a gobbler on the roost pretty close to them gobblin at dawn. Gobbled on the ground and gobbled out a hearin distance!
I was like "Wow! Was it a jake tryin to figure out his gobble or somthin?"
She said no this was a big boy, big rattle your chest and the stand gobbles!!

I see them all the time deer hunting, mostly flocks of 10-20 hens. Had 8 roost about 50 yards behind my stand last week and 1 hen just kept yelping and cutting non-stop for about 30 minutes.
Then they vanish every spring facepalm:

Two years ago my buddy and I saw lots of them on the property, sort of like now. That Spring season we were overrun with turkeys. Sure hope history repeats itself!

I feel y’all pain. It’s like they know. I started doing a few things which have helped me. I plow my food plots up, I burn off my little 16 acre field and burn off my planted pines. Seemed to help them hang around a little better

I had 20+ turkeys pile by both stands that my son and I sat in yesterday hunting deer.

They were 2 pods of 10+ birds calling back and forth till both pods merged for a hike.

They were some really nice toms in the bunch!
