are you starting out in high spot at break of day. No rush we haven't even hit first peak gobbling yet easiest time to find bird is then just pick nice high spot where .can hear in all directions then mark spots don't want to be seeing the birds especially when get close to season they just starting to split will be sign in places where hasn't been soon

I have been out there at the break of day, but not in a high spot. I will definitely try that. I think I've been running so many thoughts and scenarios in my head, that I just forgot to just stop and listen. I have a really good area that I know should hold turkeys this spring because there is water, food, and roosting locations. I just need to go back and look again closer to season. I've been checking areas where I have been told that there were turkeys there, but those reports are from deer season. I think I have been chasing ghosts.

I wouldn't worry at all where seen them in fall/winter that will have you chasing ghosts spring is all about the hens and nesting don't worry about the roosting and water either birds can get water from most anywhere and they'll roost where ever hens roost and that'll be near nesting. Just be there before daylight if gobblers are in area they'll sound off especially here in another week or so I like let gobble on own but I have no issue with pulling a hooter out best is yet to come

Is 59 a big flock?
I got a roadside video from near beaufort yeterday supposedly of a counted 59 in a field..
Looked like a 159 to me.
We should be relocating those crop destroyers back up here.

At our house the turkey eat more corn than the deer. Have seen 10 deer together vs 22 turkeys together, sometimes they are all in the backyard together along with the usual squirrels.

So a lone hen jogging down the road. Saw a group of birds off in the woods a few miles away where I haven't seen them in a while. I think something was up this morning. Probably a good day to go listen.

The big flocks Ive been watching for months have disappeared on cue. Every year about the time the maples bloom and the daffodils are their prettiest, they go...
These are the 2 weeks that will fool you. Birds may not be where they are today on the opener.

Flock of 35 today with 5 shooters.
Seen a gobbler with a hen on Christian chapel road near the Shearon Harris gameland this evening.
Seen a lone gobbler walking behind my neighbors house today which is about 600 yards from my house.

From what I'm seeing and hearing even in mtns they've all split pretty good now won't be long now hopefully most hens will be bred in next 2 weeks

Saw a flock of about 25 in a field about 6pm today between Wendell and Knightdale. There were gobblers in the group, but not one was strutting and they were all silent.
