I have heard several reports that the Turkeys have been behind schedule this year as far as really breaking up from their groups and responding to calls.

I know several years ago it was like pulling teeth to even get one gobbler to come to me. Then a few weeks later I called in 7 in one day.

So, what are your thoughts/experiences/reports this season so far?

I agree they are behind. Right now would be good an I don't have any hunts lined up. Could be the rain and cold but seems to me they strut best when the bluebonnets bloom.

Yes they are a little behind. I called in 3 birds at one time then i called in 4 also a few days later.

I would say the late TEXAS snow we had. Heck I am behind schedule too.

Way behind! By this time last year we had 9 dead and a few hunter's had missed! This year we have had one only one shot fired and it was a miss at 8 yard's!

Wow, that takes skill.

With todays turkey chokes and loads, It's easier to miss a close bird than one at 40 yds.

I called in 2 decent gobblers weekend before last. (9-11th) I only hunted until about 10:00 AM both days.

Saturday, I called one in and he had places to be, he just gave me a glance, and kept on his merry way. No shot.

Sunday, I worked them hard and got at my spot before sunup.

I sat down and started calling, got 3 responses. One came in about an hour later with 3 girls, and was putting on quite a show, but I couldn't get him to step from out behind the oak tree he was behind so I could get a good shot at him. He was about 25 yards out or so. I'm headed back on Mothers Day weekend to bring him home.

thx everyone
