Hey all, I read through all of the youth hunt posts and congrats to all! Awesome to see the young kids out and having success if fortunate enough. Figured I'd narrow the topic a bit though and ask for those who have been lucky enough to get out so far.. How are the birds acting? Haven't seen much for strutting from the roads and what not, birds responding to any calls or is there much gobbling on the roost etc? such as quieting up after fly-down. Just trying to get some info due to lack of scouting ability.. not wanting to mess it up and go in overcalling or anything. Appreciate any help and good luck to all!

Flocks are starting to get smaller in the Ozaukee area, 20-30 down to a dozen or so. Lots of strutting all day long. Gobbling from the tree consistently and more gobbling on the ground. This should be a good year.

Haven't heard any gobbeling yet, but tough from the car.  I have seen the strutting, and also seen some of the big groups break up a bit.  Was seeing 70-80 in one field, and now down to around 40.  Saw 3 toms alone this past morning, which I have not seen all winter.

I saw three separate fields yesterday in waukesha county with strutting birds and a pile of hens with them. I see them a lot lately. Any mowed corn field seems to be a sure bet that they are there. Plus the 3 I had stroll up into my yard the other day whilst trying out my new call with the kids.


I hope your guys luck changes before season starts. 

Good luck.

I was out coyote hunting two weeks ago and heard a lot of gobbling on the farm. At least 30 different gobblers were going at once that morning

I see them strutting for the last month or so. Still flocked up hens and toms together.

Saw more birds out yday and today in the afternoon than I have seen total in the last few weeks. Nice weather must have them going, in Zone 2 Kewaunee county.

Got a kid to take out next week, hope there are a few left.

Got mine week one. 26#, 1 1/2 spurs and it had a few hairs up to 12.5" but most were just over 11".
