Been seeing a lot this week.. starting to show themselves! A tad later this year.
These 2 were fired up as i left campus
These three roosted 900 yards (1/2 mile) away two mornings before I picked them up on this camera. Over that 48 hour span, they were likely on three different farms/landowners making their rounds and messing with hens. Strutting all day, eating very little, and dropping weight.

looks like even the hen flocks have busted up here. seeing single hens out walking around, sometimes 2 or 3 gobblers escorting her.
Made a loop up to the high school and back this afternoon to drop something off and birds in just about every field I went past. Got the old heart pumping!

For 3 weeks or more. Groups have broken up and hens going on nest lately. Seeing alot of dead birds on side of the road.

Went up to the farm I'll start out with in the morning to scan the fields today. Birds are definitely out in full force. Im sure it will probably sound like a small war up our holler at first light with all the neighbors hunting. Saw 3 on our place and 7 or 8 more on the farms ajoining us. Interesting though I'm not seeing many hens. Just a few here and there. Good luck fellas!
Made a loop this morning, saw 25+ strutters. Given the area I doubt very few of them will still be walking around after this weekend.

Out front of my porch Tuesday morning. I was going out of my mind. They were out there for about an hour and a half.
