LifeNRA Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Re: PA TURKEY TALKERS Our breeding season is just about over for the hens here in PA when our hunting season starts. Its that way on purpose! To insure the flock grows! Dont worry them toms will still be looking for love in all the wrong places! LOL!

buckbuster11 Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Re: PA TURKEY TALKERS I have been seeing them strutting and hearing the gobbles for a little over a week. Saw a double bearded monster yesterday morning that got me all excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbeck Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Re: PA TURKEY TALKERS had one strutting with a hen at about 50 yards the other morning. Heard 3 different birds behind the house. That strutter was in a hollow with his lady just showing off. Boy was she ever a loud hen, cutting and cackling her head off. Man is there anything better?

I got a good look at it out my car window at about 40 yards. Beautiful sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAbowhunter4life Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Re: PA TURKEY TALKERS Well, in my neck of the woods (Allegheny Co.) they've been gobbling HARD for about a week or so now. I've been scouting a few of my spots and every place I have gone I have at least heard birds. One spot I plan on trying this year is INFESTED with birds, and I mean IFNESTED. I've been seeing a flock of 40 there on every trip in the same general location, 25 hens, 10 gobblers and 5 jakes........... To make a long story short, it's go time fellas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Re: PA TURKEY TALKERS Haven't heard one yet. I haven't tried real hard. But I've stuck my head out the door a few mornings and heard zip. Have seen a few strutters here and there. I plan on getting up in the morning and going out if it's not pouring the rain. April 22nd is our youth season and it's my daughter's first go at spring bird huntin'. Can't wait to get her out there!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't sound like a old bird...but it was gobbling none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Re: PA TURKEY TALKERS Went out Saturday morning. Stood on a point where I could listen to about 600 acres. Heard 3 birds and one of them was in another time zone. Incredible. Seems that the number of gobbling birds in these parts goes down every year. Maybe it's because the ones that gobble are the ones that die and don't pass on the genetics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent seen a bird the last two mornings which were picture perfect. They don't seem to be real active yet I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsman2230 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Re: PA TURKEY TALKERS I went out this morning around my college and heard about 8 birds goin crazy....probably gobbled over 200 times. Then we saw 3 jakes on some railroad tracks and got them to gobble with an owl call....they were hitting anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rut-Nut Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Re: PA TURKEY TALKERS My buddy went out on his property where we killed 2 jakes side by side last Spring. he sat down and called and had a Tom respond instantly! SO he quit calling and froze. A few seconds later he saw it come up over the stonewall. About 10 min later he saw it and another longbeard (10") walking by with 3 jakes......................Yeah, I think it's gonna be another GREAT Spring!!!! we're all pumped up!!!!!!!
