I will wager many will have a tough season hearing gobbling birds? Not tough that you still can't kill them, but tough as in those who enjoy hearing them.Over the years atleast around here in parts of PA that get good pressure, this seems to be the trend. Every year the gobbling just seems to really drop off as compared to previous years. The coulprits, way too many hens, and a lot of pressure. I look for this trend to continue as turkey hunting keeps gaining popularity, with people constantly messing with birds. And the hen population seems to continue to grow, as most do not pursue hens like they do Gobblers.
