Covehnter Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Was duck hunting this morning, first day of the new year although it doesnt feel like it being that it was 50 degrees this morning when i woke up, and heard some hens start talking across the slough. This was normal, we always hear turkeys around the river, then i'll be darn if a bird didnt let out a full roll gobble, i was slammed. Glad i had a buddy w/ me to witness that so folks wouldnt think i'm crazy. I know they'll gobble about anytime but man, January, thats the last thing i expected to hear. But it's got me ready for spring already!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Re: A gobble in January? I heard a bunch of hens and gobblers the first weakend of November. It was right at daylight and the hens started raising cain and the toms joined in with gobble after gobble!!!!!!!!!! Wish they were that easy to locate in the spring!!!!!!!!!!

NY911Bowhunter Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Re: A gobble in January? I heard a couple of good gobbles on the Bow season Opener in Oct here. I almost fell out of the tree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Re: A gobble in January? Yep. Absolutely...........yep. The only month of the year I believe I have not heard a gobble is December. But that's mostly because my job keeps me out of the woods in December. Turkeys can and do gobble any time of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillbilly Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Re: A gobble in January? I always thought they always gobble, to leat each other know where they are, to communicate. While deer hunting in Shotgun season, I heard some many Gobblers making so much noise that I couldn't hear any leaves rattling or breaking, cause a doe walked right by me. But I always thought they'd gobble all the time. Might be wrong, but I've heard them gobble before all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bow Hunter Derek Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Re: A gobble in January? I went deer hunting this morning and had probably 50 turkeys with me all morning. The toms and jakes were gobbling their heads off. I even had one tom strut for a little bit out in front of me. It was a cool vantage point from the treestand. Several of the turkeys actually began to roost at about 10:00 in the morning. They stayed up on the roost for an hour or so and then flew down to join the others. Cool morning. 16 more weeks till we can chase these goofy birds here in Indiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_Spike_King Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Re: A gobble in January? Yep, I've herd them gobble in the fall, and while my dad and I were deer hunting in December I had 1 sound off 75 yards away from me while on stand, I just about jumped out of my skin. What a rush. Like everyone has said, they gobble all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
