Gobbling started at 6:14 am. I was setup on one of the flocks I will be putting a youth hunter on next Saturday. I'll be taking two boys. One will hunt with his dad and the other with me. I heard nine different gobblers today versus twelve on Wednesday morning. But, that was because I was lower in elevation and unable to hear very distant birds as I was on Wednesday.
There were three gobblers in the flock I was scouting. They gobbled very well from 6:15 to 6:30, when they flew down and started strutting. The hens did not join them till 7:00 am.
Highlight of the morning...I was watching one bird strut about 100 yards away. All of the sudden he starts shaking, and I'm thinking, "What in the world?" I check with the binoculars. He's in a breeding pose and pelvic thrusting the air for all it's worth. This went on for at least a minute. Apparently, his head was not the only thing that was blue.
I left the area at 7:30 am and the birds were very quiet.
