My work carries me to 10 counties around Raleigh, so I probably won't see a lot of turkeys. at work But I cover a lot of back roads & countryside, especially on my time off. Force of habit makes me look for wildlife as I'm driving. Always keep a good set of binoculars in the truck just in case too. It can't hurt anything by contributing my turkey sightings between July 1 and August 31. What I see may even help give a better idea of population around here.

How about you?

I don't spend too much time on the road so most of what I usually will report is what I see on y own place. From what I have seen so far this spring I'll be reporting 1 tom and 2 hens.
 
My dog flushes the occasional gobbler while scouting for coyotes. She sent one flying within 3 feet of my head a couple of weeks ago. Made me jump!

I'm thinking of participating for the first time this year.

Tried to put in the sighitings i saw in June but it dosent accept them. I know it says starting July. Just looks like they would take poult sightings from whenever if their intent is to monitor the hatch. Only reason i could think is if spotted after July they figure they are big enough to make it. On another note i wish they would quit sending me trapping surveys and bear hunting surveys.

interesting way to figure out birds, here in Ontario we have to fill out a survey from all our hunting seasons, so bear, deer, moose and turkeys. How many did we see, did we harvest, how many days hunted and what wild life management unit.

I participate in this but last year reported zero. This year might be pretty close to that too.

I am and have already seen about 120. Saw these this morning probably about 8-10 more not in the pic.

I am! Finally had a sighting on July 17 in Bertie County on my way back home from Virginia. 5 turkeys standing on the side of the road. 2 looked like gobblers, but I only got a brief look. It was neat finally seeing some.
