Going to make some guesses for this season, first of all I'm in east central Ohio so if you're north or south of me expect things to be later north and earlier south. I expect the first two weeks to be the best this year. I've been out for the last week and the gobbling has really tapered off, just a few gobbles at daylight and then a little later on in the morning. I think they are breeding heavy right now and the hens will be disappearing in the near future (nesting) setting off another peak in the gobbling as they look for one more girlfriend. I expect that to start any time now. Likewise more big birds should get whacked earlier this year because of that. Hunting is going to be tougher if you hunt heavy cover because it's going to be real heavy, by the 4th week it's going to be Ugly thick! While the ticks will be a problem (permanone) I haven't been bothered by mosquitoes at all.....so far. I normally like hunting the 3rd and 4th weeks because there are usually a lot of lonesome gobblers and most people have either got their birds or gave up, this year I'm afraid things will pretty much be over by the 3rd week.
And my disclaimer is......the only guarantee in turkey hunting is that there is no guarantee!:cheeky-smiley-022::cheeky-smiley-022:
