Turkey action?

[DBuck]

Anyone seeing any strutting or hearing any gobbling? I saw about 40 birds together last week and nothing exciting was happening.

Been seeing them down here in south nj every day. Toms hanging with the hens and showboating strutting around! Warmer weather should get em fired up!

ive seen a few hundred on farms in deep south jersey while I was trap shooting and patterning my shotgun. All on posted up land. Ive seen quite a few gobblers strutting already. Im hoping they are where I need them to be in A and B week.

I think there are a few well-fed yotes or other predators in Haskell. I could see 30-or-so birds flocked together in a day, and now I'm seeing flocks of about 7-10 birds. Haven't heard anything in the woods either, but I need to get out more.

I wouldn't worry about it. That's normal for this time of year. The Winter flocks are breaking up into smaller groups again and will move into their Spring areas. Those 30+ bird flocks are just the winter groups, they don't stay together.

 

I saw a few toms strutting way out in a field a few days ago, but not where anyone can hunt. Guy I know also saw a big tom strutting and gobbling near his work. This is all Northern NJ.

I woke up to at least 2 different birds gobbling for opening day of trout yesterday morning in North Jersey.

I'm sure they'll get fired up today with these warm temps!

Definitely has to heat things up, just in time !

I haven't had time to scout, but I know our zone 7 birds and their habits well so I'm not concerned.  I'll get out a bit next week and again the weekend after this one coming prior to A week opener as I have A week and C week so far for my zone.  I've seen some hens in my woodlot, but I don't hunt turkeys around here.
