Rhino Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Still haven't been to listen yet down here Don. Monsoon weather...yep it's rained more often than not, including this past weekend. Typically I start hearing a lot of gobbling activity starting the 3rd week of February down here. I'm not going to try in the rain though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Can't blame ya. Woke up to an inch or two of snow this morning. Just puts a damper on a good mood................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 It's kind of strange here as the turkeys hanging around in town are gobbling and strutting around in the snow. Over the winter the birds hang out in town where multiple people will be feeding them or out of town there are always a few who also feed over the winter. Where I live there is several feet of snow yet (it is snowing right now) and there will not be any turkeys around until mid to late April, depending on snow melt/green-up. Just a couple of miles away and higher on the mountain some friends of mine feed the turkeys year round and there are close to a hundred (maybe more) turkeys hanging around and some of them a really big gobblers. They don't let anyone hunt on their property either. The thing with feeding turkeys like that is the mess they make and even in the summer when many of them wonder far and wide there is still enough of them around those people's house that you couldn't walk across their lawn without stepping in it. Turkey season starts April 15th here and hopefully the snow will be gone at the lower elevations by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
