Strut10 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Me & Lil are headedout to our favorite listening spot. Gonna try to hear our first gobble of the year. Winter was not hard on our flocks, here, at all and the birds have been strutting. But, as of yet, I haven't heard one gobbling. And as you all know......................that's the first TRUE sign of spring. Sort of. Anyways............it's still 5 weeks or so until youth season here. So me & Lil need a little something to keep us hanging on 'til then. We're off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Well................... it's officially spring!!!!!! :toot: Me & Lil heard our first gobbler of the year. Actually our first 10 or so. There was a wad of about 7 in one little spot and about 3 in other areas around the vantage point we were listening from. Also heard geese, woodcock and pheasants this morning. Good day !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I was actually disappointed to not have heard more gobbling birds than that. But it is early. No matter. It's ALWAYS fun around here in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
