Tdub Report post Posted April 16, 2014 Got out this morning at 4:00, heard absolutely zero! Very frustrating! I'm a novice when it comes to turkeys but wouldn't 4am be a little early for them to gobble? I would think that they gobble after they wake up and hear the hens yelp. All the ones I've heard are going crazy as the horizon begins to fill with light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the ones I've heard are going crazy as the horizon begins to fill with light. You're probably right, but if you think about it I started at 4 and was deep into some prime looking stuff when the sun started lighting the sky. Also this morning it looked like daybreak way early with the full moon. Still didn't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tdub Report post Posted April 16, 2014 It can be the most frustrating thing. I was ready to give up last weekend when they gobbled close to us then hit the dirt and went the other direction. Keep on it they seem to show up at the last minute. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted April 17, 2014 Bought 3 Jr. tags today at lunch. We'll be out early Friday in spots I saw gobblers in unit 1 a couple days ago. Then pulling the trailer up to higher country to see if we can fill some tags. Good luck to all the youth hunters headed out this weekend. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elkaddict Report post Posted April 17, 2014 What a difference a day(and/or area) makes! Went to an area I found a lot of tracks last week and heard gobblers every where I went. Things are looking up! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H2O Dog Report post Posted April 17, 2014 Heading up to Unit 1 this afternoon for my youngest sons (13) Turkey Hunt. I know my buddy up there has stated that they are going silent as they jump out of the trees, but then start back up again a few hours later. Which, this time of year is the normal up there, as they get henned up first thing, but the hens leave them quickly and they start hunting for hens themselves. Looking forward to getting out this weekend. A bit blustery, but I always find that rainy weather gets them in the open a bit more than dry days. Good luck to all of the Jr. Hunters this weekend. I will be staying in Greer. Let me know if anyone else will be up that way. I have lots of areas to hunt up there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
