Late Spring MO?
Ok maybe its just me but i have been noticing alot of signs that this spring might be a little later than the MDC thought.
toms are still running with harems.
i just saw my first hen on the nest on the 30th of april.
gobbling is non-exsistint once they hit the ground.
they quit gobbling at 10 min aftre six the other morning. the problem being legal shooting time only started at 5:54am.[:@]
oh well thats why they call it hunting and not killing.

RE: Late Spring MO?
We just came back from 2 weeks in the Mark Twain. First off let me tell you there were more men hunting there than I have seen in 17 years. I killed my first bird at 1030 on the first Wed. My next bird was killed the second Mon, at 0624. We had birds gobbling most of the day. Some had hens and some did not. But if you did get one to gobble after 9, you had better kill him quick. Because there would be 15 guys with crow calls come running.

RE: Late Spring MO?
well i was just reading(either on the MDC website or one of the grain growers news i get)and they even admitted that the breeding may have been pushed back because of the weather.
